Well, I hope you'll get to us this time, Jim. ;-) We're away next w/e but
Matthew, Ray's son, will be here. Go through Dartington, up to Huxam's
Cross, turn right, go past small nursery that is *not* us, over Staverton
bridge and level crossing, following rest of brown signs! About 20 mins
from Totnes.
Gardens - definitely The Garden House at Buckland Monachorum, nr Tavistock,
definitely Rosemoor, if you haven't been there. Ray Brown's Plant World is
just outside Newton Abbot and he has a lot of unusual seeds. There are a few
bog standard garden centres like Fermoy's and Endsleigh but I don't think
there's anything unusual there.

You have to visit Mount Edgcumbe Country Park across the border in Cornwall.
It is the most beautiful country park in the Country and has an ornamental
garden as well as the woods and open land that is bordered by the river
Tamar and Plymouth Sound/Cawsand Bay. You can get there either by the
Torpoint Car Ferries at Devonport, the passenger ferry at Stonehouse or by
the Tamar Bridge. There is nowhere else so beautiful on earth
