Hire a car and visit some small towns and gardens. Its been a dream of
mine for many years and next year that dream must come true but l really
need some advice as l dont want to do the tour group thing. Any advice
will be welcome. Thanks

At the time of the Chelsea Show, I would expect rhododendrons and

renowned for their displays.
