Planted for all year interest starting with snowdrops then Meconopsis, Lillium, Dierama, Crocosmia, to Hydrangea. National Collection for Dierama species featured on BBC Gardeners World flowering at their best in first half July. Many different plants as you would expect from members of the Hardy Plant Society. Some interesting shrubs and trees are being added and are just getting established.
