WOMAN’S HOBBY
PARADISE OF FLOWERS A woman's hobby, which became her life’s work, has transformed a cliff into a paradise of flowers and plants. An area of nettles, bracken and gorse at Sea Cliff, Strcte, Devon, has been made by Miss Amy Toll, member of a family of landed proprietors of Dartmouth, into a remarkable garden of rare (lowers and plants. The work has occupied Miss Toll for about 30 years. She roamed the Continent and found (lowers and plants which have flourished in her cliff garden. Other flowers mid plants and miniature trees, seldom found in England, were imported by her from Japan and Africa. With this collection of rare horticultural specimens Miss Toll hybridised old plants and those typically English,, and new varieties have been evolved. Professional and amateur gardeners greatly admire the results of Miss Toll’s horticultural enthusiasm.
