The Spring Bulb Pageant was started in the 1950s by Claire’s grandparents Ralph and Antonia Jarvis. Claire’s father Antony Jarvis and late mother Victoria continued the work and Antony estimates that he has planted or moved 150,000 bulbs in the last 25 years.
Easter is the perfect time to admire our cherry and magnolia trees as they blossom beautifully. Enjoy a spring stroll and a spot of hanami (花見, ‘flower viewing’), the Japanese traditional custom of admiring the transient beauty of blossom.
Can’t recommend this enough. There’s a serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere and the splashes of colour in the sunshine lift the spirits.
