You're right! We've just returned from a whirlwind week-long trip to London...
Besides visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the Garden Museum and the Chelsea Physic Garden I also visited the lush exotic garden of Mark and Gaz, of Alternative Eden blog fame. And yes their garden is even more amazing than you imagine, plus they are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and extremely plant knowledgeable (I swear Mark is a walking botanical Latin dictionary).
Plenty of pictures will follow over the next few weeks, in the mean time of got a case of jet-lag to work through and a garden to water (our dry weather continues here in Portland, but the Brits kindly lived up to their rainy reputation while we were there). Special thanks to Mark and Gaz for being such wonderful garden hosts and helping us plan our trip, as well as Linda (from whatsitgarden), and her husband Phillip, for pre-trip London advice. If you've been thinking about a trip to London I say, GO! It's a wonderful place to visit...
