| Each
issue we ask five horticulture experts
to list their favourite plant types
on a selected theme.
Previously we would only ask for
two favourites each to be listed,
however, we have expanded their initial
selection to five favourites from
which they choose their top two to
focus upon.
The decision can depend upon many
factors such as soil, climate, drought
tolerance, aesthetics or just plain
personal preference!
