    Hi all,

    Im in Lancashire - sunniest place in the world.
    Last year we moved house and as we always had a passion for the exotic decided to start filling the new garden with tropicals. In doing so we stated making some good contacts in the trade and are now building a small specialist tropical nursery. I sell stuff I want myself - sort of a buy 2 keep 1 enterprise - mainly to fill the garden.

    A couple of reasonably recent shots of what we have been doing over the past year....

    As you can see - nanas and palms are our thing ;)

    Thanks
    Ben
