This week on The Horti-Culturalists we're visiting a wonderful nursery - Treasured Perennials - that specialises in rare and unusual perennials and bulbs. Ben and Kerrie have a relatively newly established garden to the east of Melbourne which they use as a testing ground for new plants. The collection is diverse and beautifully laid out with Kerrie having the eye for colour blocking and Ben propagating and collecting!
We spoke to Ben at the Yarra Valley Rare Plant Fair last autumn which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njZx485ffFk
Treasured Perennials don't do e-comm nor do they have a website but they do sell through local rare plant fairs in Victoria so follow them on Instagram to keep up with their schedule: https://www.instagram.com/treasuredperennials/
