There are many reasons to join #CheshireGardensTrust and one of them is our quarterly newsletter. The July edition is packed full of features from The Magical Garden at Biddulph Old Hall to Cheshire events throughout the summer. Photo @ Alison Moore from the AGM at Whitby Park

My Catananche caerulea is loving the conditions this year, but I've noticed that the flowers close at the hottest time of day and then reopen. Can't find any reference to this online. Has anyone else noticed this? #TuesdayBlue #mylittlegarden

The first garden visit organised by the CGT Events Team this year was to Stonyford Cottage Gardens near Delamere Forest. Stonyford is a delightful wildlife friendly woodland garden, with meandering streams, a large pond and mature trees. #cheshiregardenstrust #cheshiregardens

Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, inspired the name of the drug morphine. He was the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Pasithea, a deity of hallucinations. According to legend Morpheus and his family slept in a cave filled with sleep-inducing poppy seeds. #FolkloreSunday
