Shakespeare and Delphiniums
\ HEN George Phillips, now of Paraparaumu (below), lived in England, he divided his time between plants and actors, _closely observing the growth of both. He ran a nursery at Stratford-on-Avon, made friends of many Shakespearian actors, and even took occasional parts in plays himself. Now he is giving a series of talks on gardening in 2YA’s Women’s Session (first Monday in the month) and on Shakespeare's Festivals, Past and Present (2YA, Tuesdays, 7.15 p.m.). After 30 years of horticulture in England, Mr. Phillips came to
New Zealand in 1950. He makes his gardening talks seasonal and spices them with references to new plants likely to interest New Zealanders. He is an authority on delphiniums and is ready to supply information about all sorts of perennials and shrubs, including Thalictrum Hewitt’s Double (which my gardening guide tells me is a beautiful hardy plant ranging in height from.a few inches to several feet). George Phillips is a student of philosophy and history and is also interested in serious music.
