Apologies my account wouldn't load but it's been a fabulous 2 day meeting with #AABCreatingCanopies thanks to @aabiologists.bsky.social and all our funders. Thanks to everyone who came along! Thanks to Ted and the wonderful volunteers who took us around Coombs wood yesterday!

Calm before the storm at Science in the park!
Me sitting behind a table with plants on it. The plants were used in medieval medicine. Blue skies outside the Camelia house windows.

A few snaps from Kew Wakehurst where we're visiting the millennium seed bank for an event tomorrow @vilasjohn.bsky.social
Winter garden with bright pink and white heather flowers under a brilliant white birch tree Looking up toward the sky along the trunk of a conifer into the twisted branches above. Purple crocus scattered on the hillside sloping toward the waterfall. Me at sunset with the misty trees in the background.

Great rugging up to potter in the garden! Then coming in, pulling on my slippers that were warmed on the heater, sitting by the window in the sun. Hot cuppa in hand! 🌱❄️
Frozen cup of water with stones, the garden visible in the background Mahonia leaf with white frozen frost highlighting the jagged leaf edge Part of a fern frond, big ice crystals frosting the edges and central vein. Brown leaf, resting on a white windowsill. Everything coated in white ice crystals.
