Bernaville Nurseries is a Garden Centre just outside Exeter, it is very convenient for those living in the city and has a good range of stock. Bernaville sells flowers, vegetable plants, shrubs etc outside, as well as seeds and gardening related equipment and gifts inside. There is also a aquarium section with some unusual fish for sale. It is the kind of place you can potter round for ages, and if you need a rest and refuel you can stop for a cuppa and a piece of cake too, in one of two cafes. read more
