THE TRIAL BEDS
2006: The Trial Beds
This is where we grow Dahlias from seed. Only the species Dahlias come true from seed - the hybrids produce a new plant every time. We use this section of the garden to experiment with new varieties. The consequence is that all the Dahlias in this section are unique to this garden and from June onwards they provide a dazzling display.
Originally this area was wasteland covered in brambles
Around the trial bed are espaliered apple trees and a selection of cherry trees.
