The garden is open now on Wednesday afternoons until the end of October. There are a still quite a few interesting plants for sale including this selection of Araliads. Good stocks of Sinopanax formosana and Fatsia polycarpa “Megafatsia” in 2.5l pots, and also Brassaiopsis bodinieri and hispida in 5l pots. There is a 20% discount on marked prices of these if two or more are purchased together. It will save us the trouble of potting them on for next season! I’m afraid that we don’t deliver so pick up at the nursery is essential, if anyone has trouble making Wednesday afternoons then please contact through the website for arranging another time.

Now with cooler nights looming and crispy days there will be a reasonable chance of some Autumn colour in a few weeks time so a visit will be well worthwhile. There are lots of interesting fruits in the walled garden and in the glasshouses. Most things have picked up after the dry Summer although the soil moisture levels are still way down making digging planting holes hard work.
