Some of the large Aeoniums in thier winter home, a rustic conservatory....
We leave a lot of our succulents in one of large polytunnels but they are in shade in winter due to our woodland setting so Aeoniums are a few others have a different winter home!

End of season evergreen scene...at this time of the year a lot of exotic garden owners are getting worried about covering plants, digging these up etc
This entire scene is totally hardy meaning untouched for the winter

A few of the plants pictured in the back of the van, that I am bringing to a talk in Costessey, Norwich this evening!
It is a bit too close to well known garden place for my liking but am braving it non the less!!
I do about one talk a week and will try to announce the odd one on here.

It is nice to be able to stop and look at different parts of the garden rather than attend to the crazy watering in the nursery or hosting our daily group visits which often would involve me making the tea!

We are closed now for the season. Many thanks to all of you who visited this year to help the garden to keep going.
Unlike a lot of places, we do not have any garden volunteers or help with funding.
We have a few ideas to run past you over the winter season.
Will try to show pics of the changing seasons here in the garden

Building up to probably the last open day on Sunday...11 til 4 ...
We have in previous years occasionally continued opening on Sundays depending on the weather but looks a bit iffy for next week so as say probably the last of the year...
Took this picture this morning...looks like back of the garden artificially lit up but this is the sun coming in

20/09/2026

We are open again today but please be patient as I am the tea boy today serving the teas coffees and cakes due to lack of help...
I will also be answering questions about the garden as well as serving plants etc
At least the sun is out!

Non Exotic garden fans are often surprised how long exotic gardens and plants go on for ...still looking great often right up to the winter!
Continuing the last few Sunday openings of the year now, starting on Sunday again at 11am!!

We have tiny ones like "tip top" as well as giant headed ones like the above
