There's not many places in the West you can pick your own bananas, but
you can in the garden of Tim and Sheila Wilmot.
Our sun may not shine often, but the subtropical oasis is thriving even
though it faces the same weather tortures the rest of our gardens face.
Fifteen years in the making, it allows its busy owners to enjoy a holiday
in the garden!
Judge Mary Payne says:"A truly unique garden of palms, succulents and
subtropical effect plants demonstrating a high degree of cultivation skills
but also layed out in an attractive way demonstrating clearly the habitat
required of each group of plants."
