Eucalyptus dalrympleana shedding it's bark in the morning sunshine yesterday and looking spectacular at Wisley. The whiteness of the bark really doesn't come across enough in my attempts at photos. Loads of bark around the place.

My talk at Wisley today - the cutting garden (flowers for vases etc!)
Much more sustainable than shipping them into shops etc.

Came across this workers memorial tree by in the grounds of Rochester Castle. Commemorating all those who died at work. Really nice.

n my way to Oxford a meeting of the Professional Gardeners’ Trust which helps gardeners with financial support for professional training.
Horticulture is a generally lower paid profession that requires a high skill level, which can make it hard for gardeners to progress. If you’d like more info on how we help people have a look at: www.pgtrust.org.

Anyway, GWR have run out of working trains this morning so I’m stuck at Paddington - and here he is.
