The Seychelle Islands are over 5,000 miles away, but Eddie and Doreen Edmondson have brought the Seychelles to their own back garden in Lancashire. Each of the flower beds is in the shape and geographical position of one of the islands, with equivalent British flowers and plants. On summer evenings, Eddie and Doreen hold 'Seychelle Evenings' in their garden - playing music from the Seychelles and giving slide shows, while Doreen makes Seychelloise food.
