In this part of Somerset, it’s a midwinter tradition to wassail,” says gardener Sean Anthony Pritchard as he decorates his cottage for Christmas. “The streamers and ribbons you see around the house will later be used to dress the apple trees and orchards, a way to encourage a good harvest.” His cottage is also filled with blooms from forced bulbs, like narcissi and hyacinths, bringing a touch of spring to the festive season.
