"The garden House" Buckland (near plymouth) hardly be looking its best
at
this time of year though!

I'd endorse this - excellent suggestion, IMO. It encompasses many styles
of
gardening in one area and I don't think another garden could be more
valuable to that form of study.
If Charlie will forgive me for completing his direction-giving, it's The
Garden House at Buckland Monachorum and yes, it's certainly near Plymouth
but its nearest town is Tavistock. From Bristol, straight down the A38,
choose to drive across the moor when you get to Ashburton, zip on to
Ivybridge and turn off there or do the Plymouth route.
And BTW, Charlie, we hear Keith Wiley has or is giving it up; has that
filtered through to you?

He went back in the spring, he is still next door producing plants for the
place but is no longer the gardener (due to what the trust termed persistant
overspending of his budget) anyway the new guy starts next year and is a
snowdrop man! and I am sorry about the directions but I could not spell the
place so decided better to leave it out rather than look a twit!
