This is my first post. The Beth Chatto Gardens, Colchester are well worth a visit. It has well over 2,000 different varieties of plants. I went last weekend, courtesy of Gardeners' World magazine. If you purchase the magazine in May free inside is a 2 for 1 entrance card and a booklet listing over 400 gardens around the UK and Ireland. Using the card, entrance was £8.45 for 2. The reusable card is valid for a year.
