Joe's tropical oasis
Joe Manchester loves to escape from the outside world in his tropical woodland just outside Birmingham. It’s where he unwinds at the end of the day and his passion for all things horticultural is plain to see. If you’d like to pay him a visit over the summer, he’s open by appointment until the end of August. Here’s how to get in touch.
