Caroline and Tom have lived in their home in Goosnargh for 35 years, a normal property from the outside - but inside it's a world showcasing the beauty of human nature
The world is full of some incredible, interesting and different people. Individuals with different tastes, likes and hobbies. People that, ultimately, make the world go round.
Behind us sit tables, all with plants ready to be sold, clearly marked with their names and prices. Tom explains to us the clear evidence of a passionate botanist is down to his wife, the other owner of the property, Caroline Luke. "We've got exhibition budgies as well and I just thought it would be good to have a go at winning prizes. I go around the country and I've won thousands of rosettes. I even got best in show on Sunday."
"I once went to South Africa and came back with some budgies from a man who had best in world. I've also got Lacewing budgies, they're rare because they've got pink eyes and brown wing markers." "My son used to be at Kew and he would bring me one or two rare bushes, he's into his plants," Caroline explained. "He's now at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, but he's into his plants which he picked up from me.
She then adds: "You know, people say you spend less time in the Winter, but I'd say I spend more time out there and it's busier in the summer because you're trying to get ahead of yourself." Caroline says her favourite is a Red Diascia, but it was a hard question to answer considering the jungle of wonderful plants within her garden.
