It had been 30 years since my last visit to this very special place . My friends and fellow gardeners / palm people invited us to go. We made plans and went down on a Friday , unfortunately during a heat wave . There is plenty of shade there but I didn’t pause for any photos outdoors , just in the glass house . The palm garden is very well stocked with mature specimens and we spent a lot of time touring various gardens , all well marked with nice pathways and easy access to. It is such a large place it would take multiple visits to see it all. I did pause to take some pics inside the glass house . HarryIMG_4496.thumb.jpeg.bf497b10221b924d77bbc6d57434e867.jpeg

The last photo is a Vershafeltia with stilted base . The palm nearly disappeared as it searched for the sun! Harry

I think 'Joey' would be a good nickname for Richard since he grows so many of them!  :)
