Eye’s little sojourn in the Woodbrooke garden last week has brought us some green-fingered Quaker reminiscences. Here's one from our Friend in Angus, Pamala McDougall.

'In my garden I have Quaker bonnets (double primrose), Quaker Grass (planted when I was governor of The Retreat) and a new species of Digitalis named 'Pam’s Choice' is thriving despite some neglect! Now I discover the Common Quaker moth – surely an oxymoron – which I hope to add to my collection. I would have the Quaking Aspen but at a height of up to 50 feet it is too big for my garden. I fancy the Friendship plant (Pilea Urticaceae) but still looking for a stockist. Are there any more flora or fauna suggestions on a Quaker theme?
