Gardening on the Wild Side

Keith Wiley, the celebrated horticulturalist, author and garden designer of Garden House and Wild Side fame will be giving an enlightening talk for the Exeter Leukaemia Fund on Friday 20th March.

Mr Wiley spent 25 years as Head Gardener of The Garden House, the elegant former home of the vicars of Buckland Monachorum on the edge of Dartmoor, before leaving in 2003 to concentrate on writing and creating his own nursery nearby, Wildside Plants.
Starting at 2.30 pm the talk will be held at Budleigh Salterton Public Hall with refreshments and raffle.

Noel Allen, ELF Supporter comments, “Keith Wiley has been and continues to be an outstanding gardener. His twenty-plus years at the Garden House and now his superb garden at Wild Side have taken gardening to new horizons. Formality is not in his vocabulary; his gardens have made ordinary gardeners think ‘outside the box’. His gardens excite the imagination, even for those of us who do not have access to acres of land.”

Tickets are £5 and can be purchased from the ELF Office on 01392 493344 or The Garden Shop on Station Road on 01395 442695.
