Great Dixter is just a wonderful place to visit. It is very inspirational for plating ideas as you see combinations that you think that look magnificent but you would not necessarily put them together yourself.

The gardens have totally different areas so something for everyone. I find the pots if you have a small garden you can get ideas for grouping pots.
The nursery is great as really well stocked with a great selection of plants. Staff are polite.

I did speak to one volunteer who unfortunately could do with some lessons in interpersonal skills as she clearly needed some extra training but that was just a small matter. The staff generally are really polite and professional. The house is really worth a visit.

The cafe is fine but the cake was nice but the coffee was ok,
Entrance price was very reasonable but I would strongly encourage people to go the plant fairs as they are excellent.
Really worth a visit.
