Sizergh, Cumbria
Explore Sizergh in spring to see
original Lakeland daffodils
carpeting the wildflower bank, while
Snakehead Fritillaria nod to the
cherry blossom above in the Small
Orchard. Dwarf daffodils and blue
Muscari nestle among the limestone
in the rock garden and provide soft
drifts of colour against the weather
worn rock. The hives in the Orchard
are a-buzz with bees, while the
National Trust team are hard at work
in the Kitchen Garden sowing and
propagating tasty produce destined
for the café.
