News:
To secure the future of Spinners, Peter Chappell has handed over to Andrew and Victoria Roberts of The House in the Wood, Beaulieu. The new owners intend to keep things much as they are with Peter Chappell carrying on living at Spinners and acting as Garden Advisor.
RHS Comments: Only two acres, but what a garden! Spinners is a plantsman's paradise, where the enthusiast can spend many happy hours browsing at any time of the year. The habitat plantings and plant associations are particularly interesting to study. Much of the garden is light woodland, so it has good collections of hydrangeas, lilies, hostas, rodgersias and ferns.
Peter Chappell's nursery sells an extraordinary range of good plants: you always come away with a boot full of novelties. Trilliums are one of the nursery's specialities. The list of magnolias is perhaps even more impressive: over 80 cultivars. '
