The Planthunter visits Karkalla

The Planthunter recently visited Fiona Brockhoff and David Swann’s garden, ‘Karkalla’, in Sorrento. Read the full story and see the beautiful images by photographer Daniel Shipp on the Planthunter website.

The Planthunter has also launched a new website which is definitely worth a visit to read the insightful and passionate views and eloquent and entertaining prose of Georgina Reid. In Georgina’s own words “Our new website (and branding), which has been slowly fermenting since early this year, is now ready for consumption. It’s a bit salty, a bit tangy, very smooth and wholly delicious.”
