2nd April 2014 Ten years ago I took what I think is my favourite picture. There is a wonderfully natural feel to this exchange between the young boy and a gardener at Trinity- as though the young lad was just going about his everyday business and stopped to pass the time of day. One might imagine he is explaining an aspect of horticulture to a friend of like mind. We can’t know what was said but one thing is clear - the absolute delight in the gardener’s face.

Thursday 21st March 2024 One of the biggest floral spectacles in Cambridge has just come into blossom for the first time at St John’s College. Lining both sides of Limes Avenue are expanses of Narcissus Jet Fire and February Gold Daffodils intermixed with Chionodoxa Blue Giant flowers. This new installation is the brainchild of Head Gardener David Austrin who with his team and volunteers from the college and the wider horticultural community of Cambridge, planted over 57,000 bulbs. It took the whole month of November last year to plant the bulbs by hand - no machinery could be used due to the risk of damaging the roots of the lime trees that line the pathway. David tells me that there is a second surprise timed later in the spring and of course being perennials we can expect this gorgeous display for many years to come. So if you missed the Thriplow Festival, take a walk along Queen’s Road where you can view the avenue of daffodils. @stjohnscam
