This week I was at Dibleys Nurseries for an RHS meeting to help choose which tropical #Tradescantia cultivars get their Award of Garden Merit.

It was great to spend the day talking about plants with other nerds, and we got to look around the incredible greenhouses full of #Streptocarpus and #Begonia 😍
