I wanted to concentrate on those Spring flowering trees and shrubs that make the Spring Garden in Ireland such a delight, that they really are worth celebrating.
These beautiful shrubs and trees are one of the earliest signs of spring, and their development is one of the first signs of this magical shift in the garden. While magnolia is best known for its flowers, its foliage and fruit are also attractive.
They are slow growing and reasonably compact so are ideal for a small garden or on a terrace and their evergreen green-grey foliage is a great lift to a garden.
