For some gardeners, tulips are having a bad year. In my own garden, the normally majestic-looking bulbs are somewhat lacking, the flowers appearing closer to the base of the leaves than at the top of them, and looking a bit deformed. It s a problem that has faced numerous gardeners this spring and tulip expert Philippa Burrough, owner of Ulting Wick (ultingwickgarden.co.uk), a vibrant eight-acre garden planted with thousands of tulips and spring planting, as well as dramatic late summer beds and mini annual wildflower meadows, is no exception. So, what s it down to?
The weather is key Our winters are getting milder, so tulips need a temperature of 45 degrees and below for roughly 10 to 12 weeks and we are just not getting it, says Burrough, who has been opening her garden up with the National Garden Scheme for charity for years. Our winters just aren t cold enough.

1. Estuary 2021, various locations
May 22-June 13
Take a walk along the coastline of South Essex and North Kent and you will not only be met with stunning scenery, you may also encounter contemporary artworks and performance. Estuary 2021 is a festival of art on a big scale, encompassing not only large-scale visual art, but more intimate pieces celebrating culture and creativity merging art with literature, music and film. A second edition of Thames Estuary Trail: A Walk round the End of the World by Tom King will be published to coincide with festival (launching on May 30 from Southend Pier, with readings and a walk led by Tom).
