Why don't you make a day of it?
We can't imagine that one day will be enough on the quest to find
the perfect bamboo/specimen plant or grass for your garden - you
may wish to take more time to chill out and relax - so what else
can you do?
Hungry & Thirsty?
After your visit to the Nursery, why not make the day and pop down
to the Kings Head in North Lopham - just a mile away - excellent
food and most important of all a magnificent pint of ADNAMS (as
long as youfre not driving too).
Open for Lunch, Friday or
Saturday from 12:00 to 14:00
Ring 01379 687320 to book a table.
Go potty and bed down for the night
