I haven't been to Adelaide for quite a few years - last time I when the new
Conservatory had just opened and the old nineteenth century one was closed
for renovation.
I was think of going next Easter with a few friends who know a couple in the
Hills who apparently have an excellent hellebore collection - that along
with finding out that the Museum has a William Morris collection has
convinced me that a return visit is well over due.
In the meantime I will contact Diggers about their Pomegranates
Thanks
