“Puddling”

Puddling: In June 2016, a group from PHG visited Edmondsham House, where the Head Gardener, Andrew Haynes, showed us how to transplant our new plant purchases into our gardens.

He has a fascinating method, which really works in practice and persuades the roots of your new purchase to go down for sustenance and water.  The most difficult thing is to keep your watering can away for two weeks.  For his complete article, which is thoroughly recommended, click on the link below.

The large tree Aeonium arboreum is in flower outside the lower glasshouse in Lower Candie Gardens.  Like many in this genus, Aeonium arboreum is monocarpic and so after blooming, the rosettes will die. Lightbox link for post with description The large tree Aeonium arboreum is in flower...
