Visiting the Botanic Garden at Wollaton Hall with Hardy Plants Society Nottingham



Come join me on a planty outing to discover the walled botanic garden run by the Hardy Plant Society Nottingham group at Wollaton Hall. I meet Erica who tells me all about how the garden was set up and she shares with me a compelling story about a fern that is very close to her heart and family.

I hope you don’t mind the camera work and audio in this video, I was facing a few challenges as the interview was totally spontaneous!

Let me know if you enjoy this style of video.

    You don't know how lucky you are living in England with all it's wonderful national trust properties and the privately owned house and estates that offer public access. Here in Ireland, those spaces are either kept fully private with no public access or have been left to the state, public yes, but not managed and left to die back into the landscape. We could learn a lot from the UK approach to heritage.. love the channel btw!

    Beautiful video! Nice overview of the garden, Erica’s description of the society and the personal connection of her gardening linage🤗

    Hello Katrina, Thank you so much for a fabulous video. Living in the US I am so grateful to you and Jessie at Plot 37 for filming at these special places that folks like me would otherwise never see. It really is a special treat to see the plants, gardens and the people working and volunteering there. Your love of the garden and the plants that live there is very infectious. I did rather enjoy the conversation with Erica and the family history and the fern. I do hope you will keep doing more of these from time to time as you are able. Peace and blessings until next time.

    Loved your visit to walkathon hall. My sister has the yellow clematis climbing wildly through her garden in the trees it’s sooo beautiful. Loved your visit and you make a great presenter/ interviewer.

    PS: That English love of gardening totally shines through from your interest and that of the HPS lady. Of course hardy in South Australia means something v different from your area

    This was wonderful, yes you should join them, the cost is crazy reasonable. And what an usual fern, how cool that it's named for her Great Grandfather, love that. Look forward to watching your new plants grow.

    Loved that Scottish fern, 'Murray Thomson', and the story behind it. Nice touch to do an interview with a 'hands on' gardener. Next thing could be a Katrina's Allotment Question Time on ZOOM – perhaps when you hit the landmark 100,000 subscribers! By the way, traditionally walled kitchen gardens were placed about 100 yards/metres away from the big house – and probably downwind as the smell of compost heaps and manure would not be welcome.
