SIR - A poetic tribute to Sidmouth Garden Centre
May I be bold and ask you to venture,
To this, another garden centre.
Unique and special, a delight to me,
With such care and planning and symmetry,
Nestling well amongst the hills and trees,
Its veranda look-out to delight and please.

Over a multitude of plants that thrive,
A thoughtful blend that comes alive.
As with the gardener’s thoughtful eyes,
Their shapes trace patterns ‘gainst the skies.
A challenge to all who would plant and grow,
To learn from nurserymen who know.
Whose care has made this place so fitting
And delights me now as I am sitting,
In total comfort as I eat,
With, thanks to them, the day complete.
