figrat thank you so much for suggetin that i checked the opening times, the lady wife phoned them this morning and they told her that they have stopped opening for this year so we have saved ourselves a wasted journey.i will have to put a note on the calender so that we remember to go next year.christopher2 i have had some joy growing eucomis this year and had some admiring comments frm my nieghbours i wonder if you had ever propagated these has i had heard that you can do it by cutting up the leaves but when i tried it they just rootted.
@ keiths lemon - here's a pic which I took at the wildside about 6 years ago, much more established now, but it gives you a bit of a feel for it. It's been started from scratch by a husband and wife team - he's Keith Wiley who used to be Head Gardener at the Garden House which is just down the road from the Wildside. Myself and a few of my friends adore it, and go over at least twice a year, Keith's always working in it and pottering around, it is so difficult to describe but, with the possible exception of Great Dixter (the late great Christopher Lloyd's garden), the most inspiring and magical gard

@keiths lemon you can do leaf cuttings for eucomis but looks far too long winded to me
