    I heartily endorse what Kristen says about East Ruston which not only has a wonderful display of plants and garden design (love the windows in the hedge) but also has a wild flower meadow.

    But I think you should dig my veggie plot before starting on Kristen - you'd be knackered if you did his first :heehee:

      :DOH: Damn, I knew there was something I should do before I put down the under floor heating, there's no way I'm ever taking this floor up ever again :o

      Much more fun to tell your these things after the fact, rather than before ... :hapfeet:

      Hoorah for you Kristen! East Ruston is one of the best gardens I've visited. And my friend runs the tearoom! Can't wait to go back.:cool:

      The tearoom is amazing! I wish I had taken a picture of the decor. And the teas are scrummy - I don't want to sound snobby about it, but it has none of that tiny-metal-teapot dumbed-down-ness of National Trust tearooms ... and treat yourself to a slice of cake too, a lot of thought has gone into everything and the quality shows :thumb:
