Desirable Plants
Quality Plants by Mail Order
from Sarah & Julian Sutton of
Pentamar, Crosspark, Totnes, Devon.
Julian gives interesting talks to Hardy Plant Society, Plant Heritage, AGS and other ‘planty’ groups.
Current titles:
‘Adventures with Strange Perennials’
‘Further Adventures with Strange Perennials’
‘Whatever Happened to the Liliaceae?’
‘Lilies and more…’ – same plants, but aimed more at general garden clubs.
‘Herbaceous Berberidaceae’
‘Underground, Overground, Wandering Free’ - a practical demonstration of diversity of the parts of herbaceous plants just above and below the soil surface, and its implications for propagation.
‘Making Sense of the Iridaceae’ - my ‘botanist turned nurseryman’ view of the family, for AGS groups etc..
‘Iris and Beyond’ – same plants, but aimed more at general garden clubs.
‘Adventures with Fancy Foliage’
‘I Believe in the Western Cape’ – an introduction to winter-rainfall South African plants, their wild habitats and cultivation.
More planned, and if you have ideas of things you’d like me to talk about, ask. I’ve been round several West Devon garden clubs with a Hellebore talk as a result of someone asking.
If you might be interested, ring01803 864489 evenings, to discuss topics and (not excessive) fees. We bring plants for sale and can deliver members’ orders, waiving the delivery charge.
