FEATURING the National Collections of AQUILEGIAS, AS SEEN:

TV: S4C Byw yn yr Ardd July 11th 2012

TOUCHWOOD
held the TWO
National Plant Collections of Aquilegia. In recognition of the incredible golden doubles
(known as 'Touchwood Treasures') that were being created, Plant Heritage
granted Plant Collection status in Autumn 2009 for 'Aquilegia
hybrids'(adding to the existing 'Aquilegia vulgaris cultivars'). They flower a little later than
the A. vulgaris cultivars, so extending the season.
However the killer new disease Aquilegia
Downy Mildew killed those collections, so Carrie lost her business. Having
moved to Gorseinon, a wide range of aquilegias are now being grown again.
You won't find a choice like these anywhere else!
The Gardeners' World, or Byw yn yr Ardd features on TV could be thought of as trailers for my 90minute DVD/video in which I tell you more than you thought there was to know about Aquilegias! Includes demonstration of sowing and growing, pests and breeding your own plants. Many, many named forms, and other cultivars are shown. OUT OF STOCK
If you want to buy seeds: for something different, try the Touchwood seed-list (including vegetables), and the Aquilegia seed-list. The seeds are of unusual, rare and cottage garden plants. You will find an incredible range of aquilegia seeds for sale.
Or do you need sowing information?
Or perhaps general encouragement or ideas about what's available from seed? If so, then these articles will help to inspire.
"The service and help you offer is exceptional, and, once again, many thanks"
You can also buy Aquilegia plants after flowering in June (they respond well to cutting back at that time of the year). Also, in spring and summer I offer a very popular service sending out young seedlings. More information on these services can be found under Plants. I always have plenty of plants for sale at Touchwood, either at the garden, or in rare plant sales. Visit the garden to buy.......in May and early June there are hundreds of Aquilegias available whilst flowering. I also bring plants and seeds to sell when I give gardening talks.
E-MAIL LIST
Over 20 different talks given on a wide subject range within gardening, wildlife and botany.
The garden at Touchwood, Swansea, is open during the gardening year. Understandably it is most popular whilst the aquilegias are flowering in May and early June, but there's always plenty of interest. May not open in 2015.
Very beautiful original flower-photo cards are available.
: special seeds for your special friends on your special day!
