How far from London are you willing to go?

Brogdale is a day trip from London so it's totally doable.  Call to make sure they're open.  The website was wrong and I went down there the first week of November and found it closed. Luckily, one of the volunteers was nice enough to take me on a very abbreviated swing 'round the orchard in a car.  I was not allowed to walk through because of ground conditions.

If you can do Cornwall, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project are supposed to be great.
