The Coronavirus shutdown has led to a greater appreciation of the trees, shrubs and other plants in my immediate environment. I have been lucky that it has been possible to sit out in a garden and go for daily walks in quiet countryside. I have enjoyed not only the plants in our garden, but also those in gardens that I pass on my daily exercise walks. I pay particular attention to fragrant plants with pollinators. This photo blog shares a few of my discoveries.
