Gardens to visit in November<\/h2>\n
Old Court Nurseries, Worcestershire<\/h3>\n
Established by Ernest Ballard in 1906, Old Court Nurseries from its inception has specialised in breeding new strains of asters<\/a>. Percy Picton arrived in 1947 to assist Ballard eventually taking over the business. Today Percy\u2019s son Paul runs the nursery, and attached Picton Garden, with his wife Meriel and daughter Helen. It still offers a huge diversity of asters available both to buy and see in a garden setting with other perennials<\/a> and shrubs<\/a>.

Knoll Gardens, Dorset<\/h3>\n
To understand the diversity of any group of plants, you need to find a place where you come away feeling more educated and competent in the cultivation of that group. For grasses this place is Knoll Gardens in Dorset. Neil Lucas and his team have developed a fantastic range of grasses<\/a> and honed methods of cultivation so that the rest of us can more easily use them in different environments. Here in the gardens they are seamlessly associated with shrubs<\/a>, trees and other perennials to great effect.<\/p>\n
