What i got at Nigels and other bits

Post by andyb »

Went to see Nigel this morning to get the Trachycarpus iv'e been waiting for, had a chat and a look round - he has some very nice palms and i could easily have come away with more than the 3 i did ( i only went for one :lol: )
Anyway i know you lot always want the pics so here are some of the palms i got plus some other random shots of my other plants, hope you like

BTW ignore all the mess/work in progress

Nice palms Andy, what size is your Trachycarpus? I've just took delivery of some of Nigels 20-30cm ones, very good value icon_thumleft

I will be in touch with Nigel shortly .... I am seeing a client on saturday for a total landscape (new build) .... I have already been given the job, and just need to measure and see which side get more sun etc

it's a small garden, and all there is at present is lawn, ... he wants a jungle effect, but wants large plants (he prefers to pay a bit extra for 'taller' plants).... he does not want pretty flowers and prefers foilage (my kind of job!)

Trudy, thanks, i plan to get more pics up asap and when i move stuff or plant new stuff.
I inherited a very overgrown garden when we moved here a few years ago but most of my time has been spent on the house which was also very neglected, but should have more time from this year icon_cheers

Green, that was from Nigel also, to be honest i was only going for the Trachycarpus but when Nigel showed it to me and gave me a good price i couldn't say no ( could easily have come away with a lot more)
I expect i'll find myself over there a few more times yet :lol:
