Helen Warrington, Ty Cwm Nursery
Hardy Plants and their Propagation
Helen gave talks to several Clubs, including our own, some years ago but as the Nursery expanded she decided she had to concentrate her time and energy there. We are delighted that Helen agreed to make an exception.
Ty Cwm specialises in growing unusual perennials as well as herbs, bedding, veg, fruit, shrubs and climbers. They have bred some excellent plants, fully adapted to local conditions. Holly's café and cakes are a further incentive to visit.
