You must go. The sweet pea and Delphinium trials I saw were unreal. It was actually my favorite part of Wisley.

Thanks for that link to Owl's Acre Sweet Peas. I'm living in the perfect sweet pea climate so they are definitely something I want to grow though I may be a bit late starting them for this year. I do have some seeds from Beth Chatto's garden when I visited last May of the variety named after her. I will try to sow them this week.

I envy those people who build a winter garden. But for some reason I am not motivated in the winter. I love your blog, jsut found it. I will be back so I can keep up with your blog.!

I love shopping locally, but I am frustrated every year with the very, very limited selection of annuals available based on plants that have historically been popular, quick sellers (and thereby look cliched growing in every flowerbed in every neighborhood.) I will check out the plant societies as you have suggested.

By the way, there may not be hoards of younger-ish, tech-y people interested in plants (beyond what's cool on the store shelf) but there are a few of us, & we enthusiastically share our plant-passion with anyone who will listen. 🙂

Happiest New Year to you, & I hope it's just perfect for all your gardening adventures!

Keri
