Eden Project visit

My parents used ours! A bit naughty, but they're OAP's.

 

I reckon there is a full, and seminal, programme definition for Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award right there ... Sorted!!

 

So it's not neglect, it's personal development! Genius

 

I didn't realise, Hill House Nursery is just down the road from Newton Abbot

 

You go to Newton Abbot a lot? Worth a wee detour if so.

 

Yes, quite a bit. We keep our 'tourer' on a site just outside, in Teigngrace. Down there again in the non too distant future

 

Looks like you'll be coming back with a few plants this time then!!

 

Well, just got back from Newton Abbot, and popped into Hill House Nurseries while we were away. I have to say that I really enjoyed my visit and came back with a few plants, as you do Prices were very good and there were some quite unusual plants. They had quite a few Brugmansias, something I've not seen elsewhere. It's not your typical nursery/garden centre, with plants all lined up in neat rows. It has a much more relaxed atmosphere, and as for their cream teas We sat out in the garden to have ours, overlooking the pond and lawn beyond, with a large Cedar tree at the far end.....perfik! It's a bit off the beaten track, but not hard to find. Highly recommended

 

Don't keep us in suspense - wotchya get and did you spend lots!!!!

 

Well, I was looking for something that would give plenty of flowering, and decided on a couple of Roses, 'Trumpeter' and 'Golden Celebration'. Picked up a Passion flower, 'Constance Elliot', a Monarda, 'Fireball', and a small red Dipladenia for the conservatory. All for less than £40

 

Presumably in their Red Border?

Any chance you could root me a piece for my Red Border please? Just layering a stem should do the trick I reckon??

 

Oh yes, and a Hosta
