Guernsey - A year in wildflowers
From rare orchids and crocuses to exotic lilies and pink Pimpernels, Guernsey’s mild maritime climate and early Spring keep the island decorated in colourful wildflowers for most of the year.
Warmer temperatures than those found in mainland UK gives Guernsey ideal growing conditions, so as well as being the largest producer of clematis in the world and the source of two-thirds of all freesias sold in the UK, Guernsey has an abundance of wildflowers adorning its cliffs, hedge banks and fields from Spring through to Autumn.
In October Guernsey will also host the awards ceremony for the RHS National Britain in Bloom Awards, with this year’s theme - Wild About Wildflowers - especially appropriate!
So there’s never been a better time to visit Guernsey to discover some of the British Isles’ most colourful flora and fauna, complete with picturesque backdrops.
