I wonder if any urgler has visited this place? We've just had a call
about this garden but have never heard of it which, after looking at
the web site, seems a big gap in our knowledge. In our defence, it has
been opened to the public only quite recently. It looks absolutely
lovely and it seems to be kept as such a garden begs to be kept.

Yes it's in Shepton Mallet right near the Showerings factory. Not very
large, but well worth a visit.
It's about 3 acres, apparently and they seem to have done a lot with it.
Thanks, Pam. We'll make a point of going there.
Showerings made their money primarily from Babycham, which is simply a
posh name for pear cider.
It had a brief revival a couple of years back but I don't think it's
doing much now.
In the past there was a model Babycham on the roof of the factory.
Last time I passed it was by some bushes at the side of the building!
Can you still buy the stuff? I used to drink it a lot in my younger
days!
