Check the title, says Sussex, should be Shropshire. They are about 25 miles from us here. We go every year to a Plant Hunter's Fair when the entrance fee is half price.

Dirt Mechanic - When the King of England responded to a request from Ireland for help in restoring order, a contentious issue these days I know, there were four groups of knights sent across who landed in Clonakilty Bay. They were De Courceys, De Barris, Arundels and HODNETTS so it's quite common name in this area.

Sadly with the Covid 19 Lockdown we have not been able to visit the place this year.

@Owdboggy, Have you visited Hodnet Hall Gardens in the past?

 

[Owdboggy]

Frequently. They are only a short drive from where we live. They have Plant Hunter's Fairs there every year with half price entry to the gardens.
