Claire Austin

Garden Chat Archive

Claire Austin runs a perennial nursery in the Welsh/England border region, a business she started when her father’s rose-breeding took off. She talks with Annie and Noel about the wide range of plants she grows – “I’m a magpie” she says, trends in perennials and what thrives on her clay soil.
