Haha ! Made me laugh when he mentioned he doesn't particularly like Bergenia and Luzula, cause I'm the same. Love your informative and entertaining videos !! Thanks 👍

Here in Canada I have been watching your videos for some time, and have learnt so much. You are brilliant and wonderfully entertaining.

Love how you clarify the catagory so there is no doubt that the plants will do well, not just survive in the conditions. So many nurseries get lazy and seek out nursery stock that is easy to find, grow and sell and don't require much research in order to have stuff to offer to the public. A true garden center has a honest gardener with a passion for growing a test garden to experiment with and test growing conditions besides planting a garden for showcasing their nursery stock. Thanks for your honesty!
