Plant Hunt

We visited Bastin. One of our favourite nurseries. We found some Salix exigua!
We lost 2 big ones in a storm in 2010. Now we can replace them at last :)

Bastin

What do we like to do in our vacation? We work in our garden and then.......

we're off to a nursery and buy more plants :-)

Yesterday the weather forecast predicted rain showers and thunder.

It seemed like an ideal day to do some shopping :-)

So we went to Bastin, a nursery specialised in Mediterranean plants.

This beautiful nursery is situated on a slope in the South of the Netherlands.

Today we will be busy planting!

Think outside the box

We have been doing some shopping today :-)

We went to one of our favourite nurseries Bastin.

Normally we go there at least twice a year.

Today we realised, seeing the size of the plants in their borders,

that we have never been there so early in the year.

We bought:

Sambucus nigra 'black lace' = Eva

Angelica sylvestris 'Vicar's mead'

Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz'

Eryngium giganteum 'Silver Ghost' 

Pycanthemum pilosum

Porteranthus trifoliatus (Gillenia trifoliata)
