'The Long Border' with Steve Edney and Lou Dowle

An evening with Steve Edney and Lou Dowle

Learn all about the creation of The Long Border at their No Name Nursery

Steve and Lou started and own the No Name Nursery and between them are holders of four Plant Heritage National Collections;- Plectranthus, Dark Leaved Dahlia, Persicaria virginiana and  Pseudopanax.  Steve was the Head Gardener at, the now permanently closed to the public, Salutation in Sandwich, Kent.  They are multiple Chelsea and Hampton Court Gold Medal winners including winning Best Exhibit in the Floral Marquee in 2019 at The Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival with their exhibit 'Plant Hunter's Jungle Camp'.  They have an interest in plants on the tender/hardy border particularly those that look exotic and tender but are in fact hardy in many place in the UK.  This talk promises to be fascinating and filled with references to interesting plants that you simply MUST grow!

The evening will include a plant sale of both common,  rare and unusual plants grown by Surrey Group Members, a raffle and the opportunity to enter the 'Flower of the Meeting Competition'. 

Doors open 7:00pm talk starts 7:30pm

Refreshments will be available.
