Fascinating Norfolk Gardens
The garden lover will find many new ideas and much of historical interest in the many gardens open to the public.

East Ruston Old Vicarage - Taking advantage of the benevolent climate near the coast, the garden at East Ruston Old Vicarage features many exotic and rare plants. Everything from a banana tree to a wild flower meadow will be found in a very English setting. Cuttings of unusual species are often for sale.
