Alpines  - I have been growing alpines off and on for 30 years, starting out when I was about 14 years old. It's fitting that I start off the index with a picture of a Daphne arbuscula that has been with me from the start. I grow it from a cutting back in 1974.

Surprisingly until very recently I have never had a rock garden, I have always grown specialist plants in the greenhouse, frames or a trough.

Over the years I have built and dispersed two collections, the remains of the second collection will now form the basis of a third collection.

 

This area is now being completely revamped, both in style and content. Most of the material is still under the old index which I am gradually updating and moving across.
