With Radio 1's Big weekend taking place in Exeter tomorrow, what do we need to know about this city?
Back in January the BBC's 40 local radio stations - including Devon and Cornwall - joined up with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and called on amateur gardeners and garden designers to come up with a "Feel Good Front Garden".
The four winning designs were presented to the public at the Chelsea Flower Show earlier today and the designers, all students at the Eden Project, will now get to create a show garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
Jenny Booty from Lavendon, Lizz Dobinson from Exeter, Nicky Shellis from Portreath and Tim Walker from Snowdonia's garden 'Tre Wostiwedh', Cornish for 'home at last', is based on the idea of a Cornish miner coming up from the dark depths of the earth and stepping into an exotic garden full of colour and life.

Cornwall are favourites to retain their County Championship title on Sunday, according to head coach Graham Dawe.
Cornwall are the reigning champions and will head to Twickenham for their fourth successive final, meeting Cheshire for the first time since 1998 - when the latter won 21-14.
"I'd imagine we'd be billed as favourites," Dawe told BBC Cornwall.
"We've got a bit of responsibility there and it'll be an even bigger disappointment if we don't win."

A newly-elected police and crime commissioner under investigation over election expenses can continue in her role, a panel has ruled.
Alison Hernandez faces allegations she failed to declare expenses as an election agent in Torbay in 2015, but told the panel she has done nothing wrong. Those allegations are also being reviewed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
At an emergency meeting, the Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Panel said it would continue to scrutinise the decisions made by Ms Hernandez. The panel also told her to stop making political statements. The recommendations say: "The panel notes that whilst the commissioner is subject to allegations she has not been charged with a criminal offence."
