"Many of us have known little about them and only had one or two in our gardens up to now. Once you get the bug however it’s clearthere is a world of lush green plants that can be enjoyed in our gardens -especially now that our climate is changing. Thank you for debunking the mythsthat I and I’m sure others held about needing lots of shade, which means I canhead over to your online shop to start exploring them more this summer."
