Today I was told that 2 previous head gardeners had killed themselves here and I don't know what to do with that information
Apparently one unalived himself in east cottage and another took cyanide and lay down in the long border 😳

Damn!

Aloe arborescens in the arid house @BhamBotanicalGd - a cutting taken last spring

The succulents display on The Loudon Terrace @BhamBotanicalGd will be heading inside for winter soon. @beorma and helpers will have their work cut out.

Salvia dombeyi (giant Bolivian sage) is native to Peru and Bolivia. This has the largest known flowers of the salvia genus. Borderline hardy here in the midlands but slow to recover in summer, so best to take it in over winter.

Glottiphyllum neilii (tongue leaf neilii) flowering for the first time

“Have you hugged your cactus today?” Never has a slogan on a T-shirt been more appropriate!
Cactus and succulent volunteer Arthur always gives the cactus collection the love and pampering they deserve.

Got to love a jungle garden. We've been sprucing up our Fern Garden with both tender and hardy tropicals. I'm thinking this year's show will surpass last year's jungle vibes. #GardenersWorld

[Winterbourne HG @winterbournehg]

The Garden Team have been busy beavering away in the garden this week. Ann has been planting in the old strawberry beds, Will has been keeping the plants well watered in the glasshouses and Fumiko has been planting gladioli in the Walled Garden!
