Visit to Hill Top
Hello All
I have just returned to my garden in East Anglia from a short holiday in Cornwall. In Cornwall we visited the Eden Project, and a couple of the National Trust Gardens. It reminded me just how differrent the climate is on the two sides of our country. From various contributions on this group it was clear that a visit to Hill Top nursery on our return drive might be interesting, and it was. An incredible collection of plants inside and outside a large range of large greenhouses, together with an interesting garden and a good tea room. A proper nursery not a Garden Centre. The only problem was that an awful lot of the plants would not have a hope of surviving in my garden. I did sucumb to Euryops pectinatus which I shall have to add to my collection of plants kept going by cuttings overwintered in the greenhouse.
