While we had dreams of a little Victorian neon jungle of a garden, my main personal dream for 2015 was: make up for lost time and grow as many different types of plant as possible to expand my plant knowledge rapidly, and to see and learn how they grow. So most plants you see on the show (except ferns) were grown from seed or small cuttings.
Most of the seeds and plants are from UK nurseries like Neal’s Nursery (our local!), Palm House, Dibley’s, Hardy’s, Waterside Nurseries, Bowden’s, National Dahlia Collection, Hall’s of Heddon, Anglia Bulbs, Thompson & Morgan, Fibrex, Ashwood, Hart’s, The Fuchsia Centre, Thorncroft Clematis, and others. All had exceptional service and plants – thank you.
I am proud of what we grew 🙂 We can barely believe all of the below photos were taken in 2015 in our small 6 x 6m patio garden.
