Plant of the Day

Sunday 1 September 2019

The cool and moist environment of the Attadale Gardens, Wester Ross, Scotland, is ideal for growing ferns. They are displayed in an old quarry and a sunken fern garden with a geodesic dome glasshouse for treasures that need more protection. Under the canopy of deciduous trees the Dicksonia antarctica (tree fern, soft tree fern) plants provide height and unity for this large collection of fern species.
