At the end of every month, a picture representation of the Arboretum will be posted on the Gallery section of our website and also below.  Look for Arboretum Jan., Feb etc. to follow the growth/changes taking place. Information and commentary will be available here for you to enjoy.  The trees are bare except for the evergreen Spruce and Holly. The Willow Bower is almost ready to cut to make spindles.  A Willow Fence will be grown next to the Chicken Run (planting at the end of February).  There are very few buds growing on the branches as yet.  Some Daffodils have reluctantly appeared but  Winter remains dominant in our woodland.
