from 'Spinners', near Lymington with Roy Lancaster and John Kelly
Do you know what to grow in the shade of a large tree or in a soggy part of the garden? If you don't, then this woodland and bog garden will be of great interest.
Peter Chappell 's interest in woodland and bog plants was forced upon him in 1959 when he took over two and a half acres of trees and bracken.
This interest has turned into considerable expertise and Roy Lancaster and John Kelly will be looking with an enthusiast's eye at the host of rare and interesting plants, shrubs and trees.
