  • Cheap and cheerful

Wander the winding paths of a small hillside garden full of rare plants, from rhododendrons to Himalayan blue poppies.

Why it's a good date: It's small and tucked away, so you may have the paths nearly to yourselves. It opens from spring to autumn, and early summer is when the blue poppies flower.
