Well done to you, Ray and Matthew. p.s. wonderful cakes, do you do mail order in the UK for these? Judith |

Well done to you, Ray and Matthew. p.s. wonderful cakes, do you do mail order in the UK for these? Judith I don't think you could send the cakes, Judith. In a sense, they're nothing to do with us at all. I just think Joanna's work is so fabulous that I wanted to show it on our site to give her some well-deserved publicity for her wonderful part time work. If anyone wants to order one of her cakes they'd have to be in a position to discuss it with her and pick it up personally. She learned flower arranging so as to learn more about flowers and how to make them and arrange them, in sugar. Every single one of those roses and the ivy leaves on the cakes are hand made in sugar icing by her. As to sending to Europe, I really don't know costs yet because we're just making an early start here but it will be something we will be looking at, certainly. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

It's taken longer to build than Rome but it's out the www.hillhousenursery.com Congratulations Sacha (and family). Question about the Wedding Cake tree. I list this in my plant list as Cornus controversa 'Variegata', as does the old RHS reference I have. You list it as C. alternifolia 'Variegata', under the Pagoda Dogwood rather than the Giant Dogwood. I have a C. alternifolia 'Winter Orange' that was sold to me under the name C. controversa, then the nursery changed the name in their catalog to go along with the prevailing usage. I wonder if the Wedding Cake tree has gone through a similar reclassification, and I should maybe change it in my garden records... I also grow C. alternifolia 'Argentia' (which is slower growing than controversa), but it is clearly a different (and finer leaved) plant. But both lovely in their own way. cheers, -E P.S. one comment, if one could search for available plants by genus it would be even easier to navigate the site. |

I see you're using something called RapidWeaver which I haven't heard of before (I don't use a Mac) and if that's the code it generates I'm not impressed. Why all the JavaScript? What happens if I turn it off - not a lot - I can't see the Flash slideshow but not much else as far as I can see. Why is the text all PNGs? That is not at all accessible which in this day and age is a big black mark! Sorry to put a dampener on things :-( |

P.S. one comment, if one could search for available plants by genus it would be even easier to navigate the site. If the plant catalogue online gets bigger we may get to that but so far, people seem to like to browse, rather as they do in the Nursery itself. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Chris S Many thanks, Chris. I'm sure we'll keep tinkering but it's nice to have it up and running. Thanks to everyone for their comments and emails - mainly positive but all suggestions, adverse or otherwise have been taken onboard and passed along. Many go right over my head so I can't otherwise comment! Thank you all. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Judith We sell that here in 9cm pots and sometimes pot it on to 1 or 2l pots. It's so widely available here and worldwide (other than Australasia) that I don't think we'd expect anyone to want it mail order. But we do hope people will enquire if they don't see something they really want that we might have. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
