What a fabulous site, Janet and what a collection! I love those slate
grey ones...oh dear! I see they don't do the 'Lady' series of
Hellebores which are also lovely but perhaps they are limited as to
distribution. I'm going to have a lovely time drooling over that
site. Both of us love Hellebores.


Try and go to their hellebore day Sacha if you ever can. Then you get
taken round the greenhouses and collections, round John's wonderful
garden and then back to see how the hellebores progress. At the end they
open up the poly tunnels where all the new Hellebores are and you can
buy them and have first pick. It's always timed just after the flowers
come up as they tend to keep and propagate from the very, very best.

(Health and Safety note)
I've known gardeners with me who are tempted to spend up to £150 pounds
on buying 15 or 16 plants on the day!! They are big plants though and
very well grown.


Their attached nursery is good and as for their restaurant - people from
the town arrive in droves for lunch the food's so wonderful, so have an
early lunch if you go there!
