    Mrs shiney visited this garden last week and said it was the best garden she has ever seen - and that is saying something as we visit gardens throughout this country and all over the world.

    It is a private garden near Norwich and their website address is
    www.e-ruston-oldvicaragegardens.co.uk

    There are 32 acres and a variety of different gardens and, especially for Bananaman, they have a musa basjoo well over 20 feet high.
