A friend is going to Cornwall next week and needs a list of nurseries
and gardens not to be missed! She doesn't mind travelling about an hour
and a half to 2 hours.

She's herself has a lovely garden, about an acre and she is quite
serious about gardening and plants (buys hers in threes and
fives!)though she doesn't bother with the more difficult stuff.

She's gardening on the chalk of a hillside in Wendover, near Aylesbury,
with good top soil now she'd brought it all in !

She's also just had a swimming pond installed with a wild flower meadow
intended for the far bank.

If anyone can recommend places she ought to visit this time of the year
(I told her Charlie's and Sacha and Ray's) I'd be grateful for any
suggestions to pass on.

Mind you, with Hill House now being a television star (this very
morning!) I expect she'll have to fight her way in, especially as
Christine Walkden gave it such high praise and said tit had the most
varied list of plants for sale in the country
