Title: interesting places in the UK
Post by: razvan chisu on September 04, 2012, 06:26:57 PM
hello everybody
i would like to hear your suggestions of places to visit in the UK for someone interested in alpines but also other types of plants.
i arrived two weeks ago in England and it seems I will stay for a while (at least a few months) in Derbyshire.
private gardens, national collections, nurseries, gardens, estates anything you think would be worth visiting. :)
thanks
