A diary of back garden botany, urban ecology, rural rambles and field trips to the middle of nowhere...

Here is something I like. Firstly it's a healthy specimen of the Stinking Hellebore (Hellebore foetidus). Secondly it's in a biodegradable coir pot- you plant it pot and all- as grown by The Hairy Pot Company who have developed a good range of perennials in recent years. Thirdly I bought it at the Nunhead Gardener which is a short walk from where I live. Some enterprising folk took on what the Americans would call a "vacant lot" and started a garden centre.
It's not huge but it's well stocked so now I can buy decent plants close to home. What's not to like?
