    As Promised Here are the photo's of my trip to The Tresco Abbey Gardens in The Scilly Isles, I had a fab time although it was only a short trip so I didn't get to see any of the other gardens in Cornwall but I will definitely get to see them next year (cant wait for Heligan when the Rhododendrons are out!)

      Nice pics. It looks like a nice place. I've never been to the Scilly Isles but I know down in Cornwall there are enough gardens to visit to keep you going for a lifetime I reckon.

      As an amusing aside, when I first read the thread title I read it as "My Trip to Tesco". I thought I was going to see some limp, force grown coriander in a small pot:)

      I agree 3 hours isn't enough to look round:(
