Maybe it’s the publicity given to last year’s centenary of the Chelsea Flower Show, but 2014 interest in tailor-made England-based garden tours is running at a higher level than usual. It’s also still not too late to be planning a small group to this year’s show (May 20-24).

Poverty, parenting linked to child brain development [ BeritaTerkini ]
By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Children who grow up in poor families may have smaller brains than their more well-off peers, says a new study.

Those areas of the brain are partly responsible for regulating memory and emotions. “Generally speaking, larger brains within a certain range of normal are healthier brains,” Dr. Joan Luby, the study’s lead author, said. “Having a smaller brain within a certain range...
