There were two growers of  Nerines on the Isle of Wight who, every year, welcomed members of NAAS to visit -  Ken Hall, at Springbank Nursery where he cultivates both hardy Nerines and Nerine sarniensis and Chris Edwards a keen breeder of N. sarniensis in Newport. Sadly, Chris passed away in 2025.




2021

After a break in 2020 because of the Coronavirus pandemic, members were again invited to view the Nerines grown by members Ken Hall and Chris Edwards.

(Thanks to member Helen Brown for the photos in the slideshow.)
