Merriments is as much a local attraction as it is a gardening centre: it's a large (4 acres, I think they say) garden planted up with all kind of wonderful arrangements using some standard plants you would be familiar with as a gardener and some more exotic types. There are endless ideas for bedding displays and water features. They sell a lot of what you see in action within the gardens in their on-site shop, and they also have a restaurant where you can have nice meals or just a good, hot cup of tea.
