I'M A CELEBRITY GARDENER, LET ME GET IN THERE













So Trebah Gardens, one of the coolest in Cornwall, just started clearing back some undergrowth and were amazed to find a whole jungley hillside they never knew about. 

They "discovered", according to the Telegraph, some "Chusan and Cordyline Palm Trees". 

Sorry, I'm going to have to stop you there. 

How did this get past the news desk? Why didn't the hardened journalists laugh their heads off and say, "sorry love, we've got literally millions of those in Chiswick"?

"It's like something out of a child's fiction," said the head gardener. Um, yes, you are correct, it does sound like something made-up by a five year old.

I found this all very hard to believe, I mean didn't they ever get one of those guy round their door flogging arial photographs? We get them all the time!
And why didn't just install google earth and then spend ages looking at their own house and garden?
