We're thinking of doing a tour of bits of UK later this year and are trying
to decide which parts to visit. Obviously, we'll have to sit down and plan
the routes we take 'there and back' but would be grateful for suggestions as
to 'must see' gardens. Some might have to wait for a separate trip, though.
Ray has seen several, I've seen very few so in a sense, we're starting from
scratch. What are *your* favourite gardens in *your* area and further
afield, too. All suggestions gratefully received!
