Will Giles, THE Exotic Gardener launched a series of online videos yesterday in which he shares his expert knowledge of growing these plants in the UK. In just 24 hours he uploaded:
*over-wintering canna
*checking for new growth on gingers
*the delights of bromeliads
*how to find and deal with Lilly beetles.
The videos are shot in his stunning garden in the centre of Norwich City and in the polytunnels which are currently protecting the wonderful exotic plants that he will plant outside in a few weeks, once the frosts have finished.
Watching Will in action reminds me of what an amazing garden he has created. Can’t wait to visit again at the end of May to record another video interview about his thoughts on climate change in the garden for winter 2009/10 and the coming summer.
Till then, I will have to make do with the film version on my lap top:
