I'll have a look at all the stuff I brought back yesterday. I may well have
picked up the plan of plants as it was one of the less ghastly gardens.

We (friend plus myself plus my Dad) found a sad lack of colour and decent
plants in all the gardens. With the huge range of glorious things to choose
from in the marquee, the outside gardens were nearly all green things with
glass, concrete and, well, grass. Lots of grass, and the occasional
wildflower, ie the things we spend half our days weeding out.
Bring back the Christopher Lloyd borders!!!!

Still liked the Yorkshire one best, though. Most of them didn't transfer
well to the small screen, and the one that they portrayed as having a guy
with a grudge on (Tuesday night's programme) was really nice!

Still, took 102 photos, bought some really amazing hand cream and ordered a
pot of white flowered chives! And resisted the Walkers daffodils for
once...
