PUSHING THE BORDERS

This was the third part of my "Day Out" and is worth visiting for the nursery alone.

I had been before, just before the two cold winters so it was especially interesting to see what was still there and what had gone
The garden is inside an old walled kitchen garden to which a series of brick follies have been added

The beds within are fairly conventional but contain a lot of stuff you don't see in the main stream gardens

But the walls and follies are a treasure trove of interesting shrubs trees and climbers

I was particularly pleased to get my hands on the Asteranthera ovata
