The Club has received photos of hypertufa troughs by Ellie Brinckerhoff in the USA- these were taken by Bill Gordon who writes " They were taken in a nursery in Connecticut about 50 years ago. I thought they were very artistic and Ellie passed away, so there are probably very few photos of them on the web. I thought some people interested in trough design might be interested."
Ellie is also remembered by a saxifraga named for her by Linc Foster in 1970 -
Saxifraga ’Ellie Brinckerhoff’ (S.x hornibrookii HL Foster 1970)
This photo of that saxifrage is by Jan Tholhuisjen -
