Border bloom

Article Abstract:

Running a nursery is not rewarding financially, according to Elizabeth Taylor, owner of Whimble Nursery in Kinnerton, Wales. She has very high standards, and this means that she has to work extremely hard. She has never had any formal training for this kind of work, but has acquired knowledge simply through experience. She takes a constant interest in plant varieties which are new to her, and believes that this is vital if customer interest in the nursery is to be retained.

Look no bugs, and no weather

Article Abstract:

The Royal Horticultural Society's shows, which are held in central London almost throughout the year, prove that the 'perfect' garden can exist. Those held early in the year give visitors a taste of garden delights which are to follow later, bringing a welcome touch of colour to the bleakness of winter. The shows are also worth visiting for the series of displays mounted by the society's librarian, which include rare botanical books.
