On our way up to Birkenhead we did a detour to Akamba in Shirley, Solihull. This (recommended on another site) is a small Garden Centre specialising in Palms and exotics. It is based on an African theme and has ties with a Nairobi supporting many causes there. There are many animal sculptures around which adds to the Kenyan feel. Inhouse Advisor was NOT one of them! Restaurant.
Nice to see pics of Akamb'a, Clive, as I've heard about it so much too. Thanks for sharing that. Nice pic of Mrs. Did you buy anything for the potential new home?
Strangely enough, I didn't!!!! I think the prices are similar to other Exotic GC's but I didn't see anything I wanted (needed). I fancied the Agave Medio-picta but at £50 or £80 I walked past them. I did buy a Yucca Recurvifolia 'Banana Split' at Tatton Park NT shop for a fiver. Vicky, as you know UKEG have regular meets there but I dion't think I am in their buying league.:D
