Zoom Talk by Samantha Hopes ‘Spring Specialties in Ashwood’s Garden’
18 January @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
After working and studying at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Pershore College, Wisley, Kew, and Great Dixter, Samantha went to work alongside John Massey at Ashwood Nurseries. At first, she looked after the Hepatica Collection, but breeding Roscoea has become another passion. Together with her husband Nigel, they manage John’s Garden at Ashwood, which is regarded as one of the finest private gardens in the UK. She and Nigel also propagate and grow an unusual range of plants in their own garden.
In this talk, Samantha will be looking at the springtime favourites: hellebores; hepaticas; primroses and auriculas
