".. I generally refuse to sign such things on a personal level. If you want that signed, I'll go somewhere else - and if the work is done, what are you going to do? Now if I don't pay you, well that is a different matter"
"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder .
Fear of the unknown perhaps ?
Must admit though the unfortunate label of slow worm does them no favours . "
Had a brief chat with a once a year customer , where I just cut his knee length grass down . I happened to mention the abundance of wildlife in his garden , and that last year I saw some slow worms basking in the sun.He looked at me and replied " Oh…

Hi Andrew, the information for Ilex was gathered over a 2 year period. I have a degree in Horticulture and have 10 years experience in Nursery Plant Production with Hilliers and my family business. I have worked for Andy Sturgeon for 2 years, and am now studying for a MA in Landscape Architecture. A fair amount of the information came from RHS books, Hillier Manual, Notcutts Manual, individual Nursery information, like Van den Berk on Trees, which is excellent. I am adding to the resource gradually, with plant associations, Plant Schedules, and downloadable Plant Maintenance regimes, all of which will come soon hopefully.
Many thanks,
Nick
Congratulations on Ilex I have just viewed for the first time. I guess I am lagging behind the times having relied on encyclopedic plant knowledge built up over 35 years for my work. I am intrigued as to how you obtain the text for each plant and how the profile is built up, is there a resource for this or have you used your encyclopedic knowledge for this?
Thanks for joining us :) I hope that you find the experience a good one. This is a great network of professional and amateur gardeners to share and learn with.
