New Terrarium for 2025
At the end of last year we decided to allow all our existing terrarium hostas have a winter break to re-invigorate them. They had been in their terrariums for 2 years and were starting to look tired. So this week we built our first new terrarium of the year. Already 1 eye has popped up …
Catch-up Jan 2025
Well we have been a bit quiet for a while here, but there has been very busy behind the scenes. Storm Daragh caused quite a bit of work for us. Our main site with the Hostas got off relatively lightly. 4 trees came down and needed clearing but by comparison little work was needed. We …

First Crop Willows planted
Finished putting in the first of the Willow plants into the Willow area. 2 rows of Flanders Red. These were planted and rooted in 3 quarter litre long Tom pots earlier this year as you can’t plant Willow sticks straight into the ground st this time of year. We have some more varieties coming soon …
Refurbishing one of our Mugs
This is one of our hosta mugs we use in displays. They were put together 3 years ago. I refreshed and split the other 2 months ago, meant to do this one earlier. This one has hosta Lemon and Lime, a lovely little plant that, with care, we can make it iridescent gold. Quite the …
