Many of them have a wonderful handmade look, and also recall Christmas from years gone by. They still have their tea, coffee and snack bar open so you can sip a hot drink and walk around and enjoy the plants while you plan your Christmas decorations

I am looking forward to the upcoming show of floral themes!
