Meet the Parent

By Danielcarruthers

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!
