A stunning spring sensory flower investigation set up outdoors at a Partou nursery created to celebrate the clocks going forward in spring 2026. A dark tuff tray laid with a mirror base holds an abundant arrangement of silver metal bowls, pots, and galvanised buckets filled with pale lilac and soft pink coloured water, floating red, yellow, cream, and peach rose petals, and brightly coloured blue, orange, and pink foam flower shapes. A wooden pestle and mortar holds a pink chrysanthemum head ready for grinding, alongside an iridescent rainbow glass sphere and an amber glass globe vase. Fresh cut flowers including deep magenta chrysanthemums, soft pink lisianthus, white gypsophila, yellow marigolds, and sprigs of green foliage and dark teal blue thistle are arranged throughout the tray in a turquoise glass vase and scattered across the mirror surface. Loose red rose petals and green pine sprigs complete the invitation to explore. In the garden beyond, a wooden picket fence planter, black rubber tyres, and a pale blue trough are visible, reflecting the rich outdoor early years provision at this Partou nursery.
