Honeytrees Crew on a mission to pick up a Wrigley motor truck to help out in the garden!
It had been on the Montacute estate in Somerset since new and we met the original owner who told us some tales! Fully working and original. Canā€™t wait to try it out!
We visited Barrington Court NT owned by Colonel Lyle (golden syrup fame) and what a magnificent place it is. To the manor born was filmed here too. More importantly the daughter of the owner of the Wrigley is the assistant head gardener here so we had special treatment!
Of course we had to visit a nursery or two!
Shady Plants- Fern Nursery was an absolute delight. Set at the bottom of a valley in absolutely beautiful countryside and what friendly, welcoming people - Tony and Sylvia. We did manage to come away with quite a few gems!
Pan Global Plants was also great to meet up with Nick Macer and managed to come away with something thatā€™s been on our wish list for years!
Desert to Jungle next and another informative visit with Rob Dudge and yet more exciting and unusual plantsā€¦..

Itā€™s that time of year! The garden needs manure. Enough here for us for years! The only good thing about me having a damaged shoulder is that I canā€™t shovel. šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ’©šŸ’©

Crinum Asiaticum starting to flower in the conservatory. The perfume is amazing - just a shame itā€™s not flowering when we open for the NGS in August!
Pavonia Multiflora has been flowering all year also in the conservatory and finally Iā€™ve managed to root some cuttings!

Bit of a trip down South! Had to stop at The Big Plant Nursery and with a trailer too! Lovely friendly guys there - Archie, Carl and Bruce. Also met a very interesting chap and chatted for ages - sorry didnā€™t get your name.
We swerved by Plantbase on the return leg. Again very friendly and helpful and had lots of very interesting plantsā€¦ā€¦
