Super opportunity to visit the collection and buy some good plants  and benefit the animal charity at the same time!

Thanks for mentioning the open day Maggi......

Just to let people know that most of the plants we have for sale are not generally available in normal garden centres, so it will be a good chance for people to own something rare.

We don't currently grow any Crocosmia, but its time we had some in the garden. A good cause too . We'll be there Mark.

We made it today - a wonderful collection in a delightful garden, and lovely knowledgeable people. We had a great time and came away with some fabulous plants at a cracking price, (sorry, we had Wallace and Gromit on the satnav). Here's some of what you missed.

[ronm]

Did you get all the yellow ones Anne ?

There was / is a 'peachy' seedling which was ( in my opinion ) very special. Please Lauri and Mark, post a picture and let us know when you've propagated enough for general distribution

[annew]

Not all of them….

[ronm]

  Restraint is surely a virtue  ....... but  I'm not sure it's true 

[laurifox]

It was great meeting all of you and we had a great weekend raising £76.50 for Hedge Hog Care....   

Ron, The little peachy seedling is now repotted and will let you know next year if she is big enough to send you a corm or two. Just need to name her... thinking Peach Highlight?? Will get a pic posted in the morning..

[Maggi Young]

looking forward to seeing your peachy flower.
