I was looking at a blog I follow and found this lovely post about a seed grower from Cornwall whose business is called Higgledy Garden. Being of a naturally curious disposition, especially where anything about gardens is concerned, I went to explore. Of course, I was seduced by the beautiful annual plants Benjamin Ranyard grows and loved the way he wrote - he is so passionate about what he does. So, I ordered some annuals for next year. Two days later, they arrived, and with great excitement, I opened the envelope. Here's what arrived:
Gorgeous stamped seed packets and a handwritten note from Benjamin himself. He has also included some Dahlia seed free for me to try! So what did I buy? Here's what they should look like next year:
Nicotiana 'Lime Glow', Cerinthe, Tithonia 'Fiesta', Calendula 'Art Shades', Phacelia, Corncockle and the free Dahlias. (Mosaic made from photos from the Higgledy Garden website and using PicMonkey). I now need to buy some verbena bonariensis seeds and some Stipa Tenuissima seeds and then I am all set for next year. Can't wait! Incidentally, if you wanted to order any seeds from Higgledy Garden this weekend, you'll get some free Rudbeckia seeds. It is great to support a UK business and get some lovely things too and I haven't been asked to advertise, but I was impressed by the business and wanted to share my excitement!
