When? We went there in September last year, if I recall, and the place
was derelict, which was very sad.

Nick Maclaren.

He has moved, and split the collection, he has retained the species while a
lady called Jane (I think) Lindsey has the cultivars. I think part of the
nursery site is still used to hold some but as a nursery its no longer
trading. My information however is not that much newer than yours and
something may have happened to him but I suspect I would have heard.
