Plant Lists

Linsey writes...

Hi Adrian

I enjoyed meeting everyone on Monday and hope you all enjoyed my talk.

Here are some plant lists. I have created one for wetland plants - perhaps you would pass this onto the couple who were asking questions about what to plant in their pond. They will need to google the plants as some of them are quite large - I find the Paul Bromfield Aquatics page very helpful for choosing pond plants http://www.bromfieldaquatics.co.uk/.
