I already told you about it over the previous 6 years, but as we reach the end of May and start of June, we are going to celebrate gardens with several events to tempt us to get our noses outside, enjoy a little connection with nature, flowers, and all that, by planning some bucolic-themed weekends.
And that’s perfect, since summer seems to have arrived already—rather abruptly, actually—even if the sun seems to think it’s on a work-study contract with the torrential rains I’ve rarely seen before…
