Garden Centre recommendation
This is so specific but we just got a car and I wanted to drive to a lovely garden centre somewhere outside of Brighton. Main goal is to buy plants but also just nice to get out of brighton into countryside or somewhere else. Anyone have any recommendations?

Where to visit in Brighton and Hove?
I’m staying in Brighton for a week in August. Now I’ve been to this place a few times over the past couple of years but I don’t feel like I’ve fully explored it. Are there any recommendations for places to go to truly explore Brighton & Hove and any food recommendations…
Quiet activities/groups?

Reviews Summary
One Garden Brighton is a visually appealing destination with beautiful gardens and a charming shop selling local produce. While the coffee is well-regarded, the cafe's limited food menu and occasional service issues have been noted by visitors. Parking fees are also a consideration for those driving.
"Delightful hidden gem! I love the cafe here and they have some great gluten free options (although they do often sell out). The shop is wonderful and sells lots of local produce and lovely plants. It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re passing!"

This afternoon I drove to the area near the University of Sussex. Suddenly I felt like having a coffee, so I found this restaurant. It’s a newly renovated place with very elegant décor. Unfortunately, I was still quite full; otherwise, I would definitely have tried their cakes and bread. I only ordered two cups of coffee, which turned out to be pretty good — rich and aromatic. The only drawback is that the location is a bit out of the way, and if you drive there, parking nearby costs £1.70 per hour. Still, I think it’s worth it because the environment is beautiful, the restaurant is clean, and it’s definitely worth a try."
