Local gardening experts formed a question time panel to answer queries from members of the Ferndown branch of Women’s Institute, during their visit to John Browns garden centre at Three Legged Cross.
Bob Holister from Country Garden Plant Sales in Corfe Castle joined Emma Green (Golden Acres‘ group plant area co-ordinator) and Pete Wood, plant manager at Golden Acres garden centre in West Parley.
Bob specialises in vines, ferns and unusual shrubs. Both he and Pete have previously work at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
A spokesperson for Absolutely WI (Ferndown) said: "More than 20 of our members attended – it was great fun; ladies came with questions about problem plants in their gardens and how to get the best from them and went home well informed.”
