"We tend to finish cutting very early in November unless specifically asked not to, so all our lawns are really ready for a cut. Plus the weeds are starting and the flowers are beginning to bloom so plenty to do. It's good to be back to it"
Have many started cutting lawns yet?We went out on Monday March 2nd. I was slightly apprehensive about whether the ground would be too wet or if the grass would have grown enough to warrant a cut, but all absolutely great. Ground plenty firm enough…

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.
