This is quite a list

I was quite surprised with some of the old favourites listed there, andwonder what a cottage garden would be like without some of of them

Yeah, my border would be a much more boring place without them too!

Alnwick Castle has a garden set aside for them. It's got a separate locked entrance and you can't get in without a guide.

I couldn't be without irises, aquilegia; delphiniums (when they survive grr

); fox gloves; daffs; clematis and lily of the valley - they are either stunningly pretty or have a great scent.

Well, don't come to my garden, you'd be dead in no time.

Funny thing is, St John's Wort is listed, yet Boots is full of the stuff
