- The Grand Stonehenge Dahlia Show
See spectacular floral displays at Stonehenge as they travel back in time to the Victorian dahlia shows – all of this is taking place between Friday 27 September and Sunday 29 September 2024 (9.30am to 7.30pm). Image by Salisbury & Avon Gazette During the 1840s, Stonehenge hosted popular dahlia shows attracting crowds of thousands of people. The historic shows involved a variety of competitions, including the creation of sculptures made entirely from flowers and the cultivation of prize-winning dahlias. Join them as they recreate this colourful part of the Stonehenge story. Discover expertly crafted floral sculptures, admire locally grown dahlias, and vote for your favourite in their take on a traditional show. And for those important selfie moments, experience their dahlia meadow and take a photo or two amongst all the breath-taking floral displays. The event will also feature two fresh floral mannequins designed by Fleurs de Villes which have been based on figures from Stonehenge’s recent past. You can even come dressed to impress, just as the Victorian visitors would have done! More information on www.english-heritage.org.uk
- Enjoy your own tulip garden
Autumn is the perfect time to start preparing for a colourful spring. And what could be better than enjoying your very own gorgeous tulip garden? Tulip bulbs are the perfect start to transform your outdoor space into a true flower paradise in spring. As autumn enters the stage and the leaves start to fall, it is time to start thinking about the coming spring. Spring may still seem a long way off, but planting bulbs in autumn ensures colourful blooms in spring. The tulip assortment offers a wide range of colours and varieties, so you can create your own unique flower show. Choose tulips in the same colour and vary with their shape for a peaceful ton-sur-ton look. Or perhaps you prefer lots of different colours in your garden? Anything is possible with tulips! Planting flower bulbs is an easy and fun activity that is suitable for young and old. With a little care, the bulbs will develop into beautiful tulips that will brighten up your garden. The fun starts with selecting your favourite tulips. Planting bulbs is simple: dig a hole two to three times deeper than the height of the bulb and place the bulb in it with the tip facing up. Cover them with soil and water them. That’s all there is to it! Watching your garden awaken in spring and admiring the flowers in your own tulip garden is such a treat. Whether you want to plant a colourful sea of flowers in your front garden, a charming tulip border in your backyard or window boxes on your balcony, the wide range of tulips offers countless possibilities to transform your outdoor space into a floral paradise. And just think of all the joy you will get arranging them and bringing them indoors… Source: iBulb.org
