What better day to reveal the cover for The Fool's Leap: Tarot as Creative Companion by @beewyld

Happy National Gardening Week, which is taking place until the 3 May 🌱 

The theme for 2026 is Get Curious! 

From @the_rhs 'For 2026, we’re celebrating the simple pleasure of being curious in the garden. From the soft rustle of new leaves to the first signs of pollinators returning, every corner offers something worth noticing. Curiosity encourages us to pause, to explore and to enjoy the natural details that often go unseen.

Whether you garden on a windowsill or in a wide open plot, curiosity leads to better understanding and more rewarding moments outdoors. By asking questions, trying new ideas and observing how plants respond, gardeners of all abilities can deepen their connection with the spaces they care for.'
