Visit to Fibrex Nurseries and the National Collection of Pelargoniums

 Many of you will know of my love of Pelargoniums and that I am often taking a six-hour roundtrip up to Stratford upon Avon to visit Fibrex Nurseries.   My trip at the end of August was a bittersweet visit because the owners of the nursery have decided that, for various very good reasons, they will no longer be able to hold the collection at the nursery.   The RHS has agreed to take over the collection, but it will not be in one place, unfortunately.  It will be divided between the five RHS gardens.

So my trip at the end of August was to visit the National Collection all in one place, for the last time.
