A return visit to Tresco Abbey Garden on the Isles of Scilly never fails to delight….

A return visit for the jewels of spring

A few plants which would earn a place in my garden

A gem at any time: at Christmas it goes one better.

A quiet village in East Devon with a rich history

A misty November morning in the Welsh hills revealed a garden not about control but restoration

An autumn wander through Wisley that reminded me that gardens, like art, are deeply personal.

It was busy and noisy but for a well-being walk at the end of October, it was hard to beat.

From autumn greys in the Lake District to fiery blooms that lifted the day.

My favourite garden? Quite possibly….

The most eccentric of English manor houses coupled with a restrained garden.

I went for the house - I stayed for the garden. Both are enchanting.

House, gardens, woodland walk and beach - what more could you want on a summer’s day?

A poignant journey through a lush garden.

One of my favourite gardens, I never tire of a visit to Holehird, Cumbria.

When you study garden history there are a certain number of gardens talked about that you simply have to visit. This is one of them.

Blenheim Palace is one of those places you feel you should visit at least once. It’s not my favourite house or garden but it is most certainly worth visiting.

The home of Clough Williams-Ellis - creator of the whimsical village Portmeirion. This is really nothing like that….

A gem of a garden and a lovely tour of the house.

Visiting the same garden at different times of the year - it’s like seeing an old friend again in a different context.
