THE GARDENS

A rare plant more at home in mountain ranges of South America is blossoming in unusual surroundings at Upton Country Park.

 

Estate workers from Borough of Poole’s Leisure Services team have nurtured the exotic Puya plant which is native to southern Chile.

 

Upton Country Park is believed to be one of only a handful of places in the UK to have successfully cultivated the strange-looking plant.
