Anyone who has ever enjoyed growing something, whether it be a small pot plant or a row of peas, can call themselves a garden lover. In these places, you will meet owners with hugely different gardens: some will be finished masterpieces, others will be works in progress, but all will be talking points. Our owners are experts on their own gardens of course, but they can often organise private visits to other gardens, direct you to good local nurseries and give you the low-down on which public gardens to visit nearby.
This popular guide has delightful places to stay with fascinating gardens; from grand estates to small town plots, all over the country. A combination of Sawday-style fresh, honest writing and clear symbols show where children, and dogs, are welcome, and where there is disabled access. Each entry is thoroughly researched and inspected and quick reference indices show for example, where you are welcome to linger all day, where there are plants for sale, or where home-grown vegetables are on offer.
“A wonderful excuse for a break away with a horticultural slant.”
