The Ernest Wilson Memorial Garden is a delightful hidden garden in CC. As Nelson & AnnHig and others are aware, Ernest Henry 'Chinese' Wilson was one of the greatest 20th century plant collectors. Several of the 1,200 species that he brought back to England from China could fairly be described as 'exotic rarities'. We'd certainly never seen them before. His accomplishments included collecting over 100,000 herbarium specimens--some done after he'd been seriously injured! Lazy bugger.
