Dalston Curve Garden has been incredibly lush with botanical beauty these last few weeks. It’s not just our colourful display of tulips in pots that have been bringing daily joy, but also the emerging waves of whites, yellows and blues of Spring flowering bulbs, flourishing under the light leaf canopies of our Birch and Alder trees. 

One silver lining of the prolonged cold weather this Spring has been the longer flowering period for many of our plants. We still have several Daffodils in flower - Narcissus ‘Pipit’ and the sweet-scented miniature ‘Baby Moon’ alongside Muscari latifolium, Erythronium ‘Pagoda’ and the Spring Star flower, Ipheion uniflorum ‘Wisley Blue’, with its sweet-scented lavender blue flowers. Add to this the Hawthorn, Cherry and Apple tree blossom buzzing with bees, the fresh green of unfurling fern fronds and the dainty heart-shaped leaves of Epimediums and it really does make it a very special time to drop in to the garden.

The Garden and cafe are open this Bank Holiday weekend on Friday 5 & Saturday 6 May. 1-10pm and on Sunday 7 & Bank Holiday Monday 8 May, 1-8pm.
