Experimental Garden

Step back into a world of discovery! Imagine having the opportunity to be the first to grow – and know – about species rare in cultivation. There are no tried-and-tested guidelines to follow here. Think back to the times of the Bartrams, who would explore and collect material to propagate the species they found growing in the wild. The only guides they had were their field notes. For every plant the Bartrams propagated and grew successfully, there were likely many failed attempts in the process.
Everything we know about plants in cultivation today is thanks to the tireless efforts of botanists, entomologists, explorers and growers. In some cases, the Indigenous people as well, who also cultivated plants and occasionally shared their knowledge with those humble and respectful enough to ask them for assistance. They did the work.
To know it is to grow it. Experience is the best teacher. Book knowledge only gets you so far, and the remainder comes from trial and error. I personally love this part of the process, and am excited to try out new species that aren’t well known. The challenge is similar to solving a puzzle without any guides to follow.
If you, like me, enjoy this process of discovery, I’m offering some of my own garden experiments here for a limited time. I may or may not offer them again in the future. That depends on whether or not I think they are a good fit, or if there’s enough interest in them to keep them in the nursery.
