I spent a lovely day at amulree and then Will Giles garden .......too many pictures to publish ......but i will one day the tree house and the famous dicksonia joint that John was talking about in an old post
OK Luckily for you the delivery charges are fairly high ... Don't forget that Urban Jungle is nearby (less than 20 minutes by car), although they don't have a sale on at present. Urban Jungle has a nice little show garden, and (on a Sunday afternoon) Will Giles (Norwich town house) exotic garden is open ... and East Ruston Old Vicarage is about 40 minutes away (but you need to allow ALL afternoon for a visit to look around that).
my next trip there will be East Ruston Old Vicarage and Urban Jungle . Will Giles garden was really nice , but I do have to admit , that is a really good illusionist , not upset at all , very inspirational .
Sums up my visit there, last Autumn, perfectly. Hope you got to chat with him too, he's generous with his time and incredibly knowledgeable of course.
My order from Amulree arrived yesterday. The plants were smaller than i was expecting. But I did pay 1/2 price, so I can't complain.
I have read of people saying they have clearly received a 1L plant that was potted on into 2L pot shortly before sale, and customer service has been receptive, so if that's the case for you then you might like to let them know.
Thanks, But it was my perception, that all. I imagined the plants would be bigger, but I have gone over my order, and it seems ok.
Sirius , amulree makes them own cutting when I was there , I`ve noticed lots of cutting and seedling , that why I`ve totally ignored and picked my own plants , my suggestion is for anyone who can do it is to go there and choice what they really like , as the Simon the owner seam a really nice person , I had full freedom of going around and pick what ever i wanted . plus many plants are not in the website.
Sal, I would like to go there. But it is too far for me. Especially since I am going away this week. I had another look at the website.....dangerous!
Sirius , take it as a special occasion , if one day you will do you garden go there and choice your specimen , they had some impressive palms plus a really nice day out and you may visit Will Giles or the old vicar garden.
