Presentation:
Jack (courtesy of Perenneial.org.uk)
Jack Ogg, senior gardener at York Gate, came
to speak to us about 'Tropical Gardening in Yorkshire’.
Those who are regular visitors to York Gate
garden in Adel will know that there is a relatively new tropical garden in what
was 'Sybil’s garden’, which Jack has been developing. He gave us a very
interesting and informative talk about the plants he has chosen. His love of
Impatiens and Aroid plants was obvious even though some of the Aroids have very
smelly flowers!
