Today's video is a visit to Thwaite Gardens in Cottingham near Hull to see how the old botanic garden greenhouses are now being planted and looked after by a team of volunteers to really show something a bit different to their visitors. From cacti and succulents through to a fernery packed with rarities, there's a stunning array of unusual plants from habitats around the world. We also take a peek into the private propagation greenhouses to see some of the most amazing plants in the glasshouses including Brassaiopsis being propagated by root cutting for sale on future open days! For more information on visiting Thwaite Gardens on their open days, the history of the garden and if you live in the Hull area and fancy volunteering then check out the links below:
