I always love tours of magical places like these, especially with a specialist to provide specific info. So thanks a lot! Seeing what is possible in a climate like ours (us Dutchies usually can get away with the same plants) :)
Great video Craig and a garden is definitely love to visit one day! I’m sure I remember seeing Eriobotrya deflexa and it’s a stunning plant - maybe not one for my garden but certainly a beauty to admire. That Butiagrus has certainly grown since I last saw pics of it and I’m sure it’ll continue to devolve into a tall and stately tropical palm. Keep up the series, you’re lucky to live so close and David knows his stuff 👍
Mule steals the show for me hands down. I have a butyagrus I'm planting out this May. Hope it looks a fraction as good as this beauty in 15 years time 👍
Hi funnily enough I think I was there at the same time as you! (last Saturday) I certainly saw most of the same plants as you showed. There's always something interesting to see whatever the time of year.
Really enjoyed the video. Remember how much the Eriobotrya Deflexa stood out when I visited last summer. Much more interesting plant than I had realised before. Nearly bought one when I got home but didn’t think it would be hardy enough for my location in Peterborough. Sod it im going to buy one anyway.
Yes please more of this. Please keep up with the Latin names and families.
Curator with knowledge and personality
This guy really knows his plants. Very beautiful location thanks for bringing to us
We’ve visited Abbotsbury but this was great to see plants we had missed - easily done with so many magnificent plants to see.
Very helpful video. It's great to learn lots about each plant. Love seeing the names on screen, too. Thank you!
You are so welcome! 😀
Great watching thank you Craig and your friend David cheers.
My pleasure, thanks for watching 😀
Fantastic, thanks gents. More please.
Great video - thanks for sharing.

Thanks George 😀 Let me know if your ever planning a visit and we can have a walk around the gardens and nerd out together 😂

Love the mule at the end. I have 2 baby ones so can’t wait to see how they grow
Brilliant video bro! great to learn some new plants for the list!
Thank you for this great video Craig!

Brilliant video, you must do more, it's my favourite place
Wonderful watching
Thank you very much! 😀
Very interesting, great video, thanks Craig 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😀
Ive got Buddleja salviiflora in north west england and has sailed through the winter, retaining most of its leaves so I can confirm its hardiness :)
I was just looking at buying a Bronze Loquat a couple of days ago. Great timing to see one in this video.
It was a beautiful tree, I don’t think you’ll regret it. Thanks for watching 😀
Great vid!
Really enjoyed the video.

We never know unless we try unusual plants in our gardens. Thanks for watching 😀
Is the Chinese ginger good for dry shade?
Do they have any araucaria?
13:23 by his right hand, is that a Mahonia?
the plants were nice but they deserve a better introduction.
