Ravine plants
The Ravine planting, as with any garden, changes as plants develop, some die, new plants are introduced and planting schemes change. There is a framework of long-established plants such as the cycads which we describe separately the bananas and the tree ferns. There is also a great fern collection including the Killarney fern.
