'Garden News' has  printed a piece on Adrian Young  called "My life in Plants" - you'll see that Adrian  appreciates  more plants than his dear Saxes!

This image isn't  very big , but  you can scroll it  bigger to read better, I think....

This is not a million miles from me so I'll be popping along if next week goes well. Why do they do these things on Saturday?

 :(  There will be no Spring Saxifraga day at Waterperry this year, we are doing some rebuilding beds and
constructing new top covers for the frames.
The good news is: There will a Saxifraga Party in late May for the ever increasing collection of Silver Saxifraga
