One the great pleasure in June is that the dogwood tree in Knebworth House\u2019s Wilderness Garden is fully in bloom.\u00a0 How magnificent it is!\u00a0 With its white flowers, even in a black and white photo, how spectacular it looks.\u00a0 Martha\u2019s family in Alabama had a tradition of always planting a dogwood tree when one of their Great Danes died.\u00a0 But the name does not refer to dogs.\u00a0 Its etymology is thought to be from the word dag, or skewer, as the hardness of the wood made it popular to use for butchers\u2019 skewers.\u00a0 The wood was apparently also used for crucifixion crosses.\u00a0 One wishes that the name and uses of such a beautiful tree had more beautiful origins.<\/p>\n

I can assure you however that Dog Fest \u2013 which returns to Knebworth Park on 7th & 8th June \u2013 is wholly about dogs. 6000 of them are expected.\u00a0 Dog Fest has beautiful origins \u2013 as an event to celebrate every aspect of dogs and dog companionship \u2013 and that too will be a beautiful sight this June.\u00a0 So come join us this month in going to the dogs in Knebworth Park and Gardens!<\/p>\n
