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.

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.

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

A second trip to Great Dixter - this time to visit the Lutyens wing.

A trip to Sussex extended to Hampshire and Wiltshire…. A glimpse into my life when I’m out on a recce.

Ever wondered what microgranite looks like?

I wandered lonely….amongst the mossy stones and bracken-clad fells of the Lake District.

Choosing a guide can be a lot like choosing an outfit….

Over the top or simple and homely….?
