I was fortunate enough to be introduced to an extremely knowledgeable gentleman this weekend – award-winning dahlia grower Terry Cornell. He showed me around an area of land that a local nursery had given to him in order to grow a wide range of Dahlias. He regularly supplies friends and neighbours with beautiful cut flowers for them to enjoy in their homes and generously gave me a car boot full of flowers to take home with me.
His wife, Nicky also grows a multitude of daffodils for display in the spring and I look forward to being invited back to experience this cheerful spectacle.
