Coleton Fishacre
In last few weeks I recorded a City Gardener programme with Matt
James. He did quite a nice re-design of a front garden somewhere in Devon. He took the lady of the house to Coleton Fishacre to look at plants and design. He called it Colly-ton fishacre. I have always heard it pronounced Cole-ton. Which is right please? Pam in Bristol |

Pam in Bristol Collyton, though most people use Coalton, not surprisingly. Can you tell me which channel that was on, Pam? I don't think we've ever seen that particular series and I'd like to try to find that episode because we'd both greatly enjoy seeing it. Both the previous and the present Head Gardeners there are customers and quite a lot of our stuff is in that garden! So much so that we've been invited to organise a 'staff day out' there. Recently, the lower part of the big lawn, where there's a little footbridge across the stream, was re-planted with Colocasias and other exotica from us. There's a Thunbergia gregorii climbing the house and the gardener said to Ray, I"'ve got one complaint about that plant. It stopped flowering in February." ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

I've never managed to get there. Here's a link about the prog I watched. http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/chan...9-06-19/12-30/ They did n't show a lot of C.F. just a brief visit, but looked at plants, the rill, and the stream with a little bridge over. Didn't notice the planting there. It was shown at lunchtime on June 19, as you will see. Hope you manage to get there. It looks lovely. Pam in Bristol |
