I’ve just made my first visit to a delightful garden show that held at Firle Place near Lewes. The setting, tucked down against the Downs is quite gorgeous and the show had a lovely intimate feel. I was very impressed with one of the stalls where the mature ‘mother plant’ was displayed, surrounded by her offspring which were available for sale. It was simply done, but a very effective way of informing you about what to expect from your plant. I checked whether they have a retail nursery, but they confine themselves to garden shows. They should be at Stansted Park 7-9th June and Loseley Park 19-21st July, but as they are resolutely anonymous I can’t tell you what they are called!
