In addition to the unusual topiary cat, penguin, roadrunner and other weird and wonderful creations, Phil will be talking about the newly planted Exotic Garden, full of rarities such as Indian bean tree, monkey puzzle tree, Paulownia, Musa and Ensete banana plants, and other choice trees, roses, perennials, and annuals like castor oil plant.
He will also show you the red-hot Sundial Garden border which has a fascinating history behind it, originally starting life as a conifer and heathers border (laid out by Blooms of Bressingham) but which is now a naturalistic planting of perennials, ornamental grasses, bananas, cannas and other unusual shrubs and small trees.
