20th Birthday Celebration of the HPS Norfok and Suffolk Group
Hales Hall Barn, Loddon, Norfolk, was the venue for Norfolk & Suffolk’s group of The Hardy Plant Society’s 20th year anniversary. The gardens at Hales Hall are framed by Tudor buildings, yew hedges, an interesting moat and the gardens are stocked with rare and interesting plants.
On a cool Saturday morning about 25 members met at How Hill Farm to be greeted by Peter Boardman, the owner and host. Peter explained briefly the history of the garden - it is mainly three gardens of about 10 acres in total; the farmhouse garden; the water garden and the retirement garden. He has a holly and tree collection of about 60 different varieties and species.
