Thornbury Tangent had a wonderful tour. Everyone was amazed at the great variety of the various herbs and learnt so much. We all had a very enjoyable time and it was a great opportunity to buy some more interesting herb plants! The various types of tea were amazing and, as for the cakes, what more need I say!
