Blossom in Hampshire
Blossom in gardens and countryside, like bluebells in woods, is one of those quintessential signs of spring. We can’t fail to be uplifted by the sight of it, from Mottisfont’s magnificent magnolia in March, to the blowsy cherry tree blooms at Hinton Ampner and The Vyne. In our walled gardens and orchards apple and pear trees are covered in clusters of tiny pink and white flowers. Beyond the garden, hedgerows and downland are sprinkled with spears of frothy white blackthorn blossom, and later hawthorn - a beautiful spectacle for springtime walkers.
