The purpose of this website and forum is to promote exotic gardening in general, and the use of exotic plants in general gardening. With the rise in popularity in the UK, exotic gardens are becoming ever more common, although many people do not know how to get the best from the plants they have bought, and mislabelling is rife. However, there are a great many exotic looking plants that are hardy in much of the UK, and others that can be with a little more management.

We are not a commercial nursery, although there is a shop where surplus plants are offered for sale from time to time. We do not profess to know everything, and are always ready to learn. If you woulod like to learn about, or have experience of growing hardy-ish tropical/exotic looking plants in the UK or similar climates, please register on the forum and talk to us
We also have our own weather station located in Chalk, Kent, England. This can be found by clicking the Weather tab above
