. Garden Tours of Great Britain - England - United Kingdom- British Garden Tours English garden tours are available for small groups and individuals GLORIOUS GARDENS OF ENGLAND, WALES AND SCOTLAND If you have always promised yourself that
"someday" you would find the right way to explore the beautiful
countryside, historic towns and picturesque villages of England, that day has
come. The essence of Britain is to be found in its historic towns and tiny
villages, nestled among some of the loveliest countryside in the world. Few British institutions - the football match, the back garden, and a "nice cup of tea" are as important as the garden. On our English garden tours, you will see gardens made famous on television, grand gardens that have developed over the centuries, and even small, private gardens, very much the domain of their owners. Most days you will enjoy at least two gardens with an expert. Treat your senses to the truly fantastic array of sights and smells around Great Britain's gardens, from grand designs attached to stately homes to the secret delights and private passions of many individuals' more modest homes. Full days out, escorted by expert plantsmen or women, take in a mix of these. You don't need to know a lot, because the tours are relaxed, very sociable affairs that you can enjoy at any level. Cornwall is our most popular destination, with opportunities to see the amazing Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Bosvigo and many other sub tropical gardens. Further north, the Duchess of Northumberland has something very interesting going on with the Alnwick Garden. You may also want to take in some major flower shows at Tatton Park or Hampton Court. You'll need to be fit enough to spend all day on your feet visiting sometimes large gardens, but there's plenty of time to recover and socialize in the evenings back at superb get away from it all Country Houses in glorious countryside!

group transfer, or make your own way to the
Hotel. , nestling in the heart of the Kent countryside at the foot
of the North Downs. Time to relax and meet your fellow travelers at dinner.
(D)Day 2 Visit Great Dixter House and Garden - The Manor of Dixter is first noted in 1220 and structural additions were made again in 1464. In 1910 the English architect Edwin Lutyens restored the house and designed the gardens. Completing the whole picture was an important aspect of Lutyen's designs, and once the residential part of the scheme had taken shape he concentrated on the layout of the gardens, cleverly incorporating the original outbuildings to knit all the elements together. This is a cottage garden on a large scale. An internal tour of Great Dixter takes in the impressive 15th century great hall, one of the largest surviving timber-framed halls in the country, the cosy low-ceilinged parlour, and the spacious first floor solar. There is a surprising and refreshing mix of decorative styles, illustrating that both old and modern can live comfortably together without creating a gaudy mish mash. (B) Day 3. Wisley Garden R.H.S. - Today, we visit the showplace of the Royal
Horticultural Society at
Wisley.
The RHS Bicentenary Glasshouse, a huge cathedral-like glass structure covers an
area equal in size to 10 tennis courts and rise to 12m (40ft) in height. It
will have three climatic zones, recreating tropical, moist-temperate and
dry-temperate habitats.Wisley Garden offers wooded slopes with masses of
rhododendrons and azaleas, wild daffodils and an alpine meadow - British
gardening at its best in all aspects. This is the 'Mecca' to many gardeners.
The garden delights and inspires in any season of the year. It is full of ideas
and information. There is always part of the garden at its best. The shop
offers as large a collection of books on gardening as anywhere in the world.
Here is a wonderful chance to buy gifts to take home. (B)Day 4. - You begin at Leeds Castle , built in the center of a lake described by Lord Conway as
the "loveliest in the world". Surrounded by landscaped gardens, it
became known as "Lady's Castle", because of the number of Queens of
England who occupied it. At Sissinghurst you see the most beautiful garden in
England, created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband, Harold Nicholson. Next
is the aromatic garden around a slender brick-built castle tower - Sissinghurst
is surely the best known and most copied garden in the world. (B)Day 5. Nymans Garden We visit Nyman's Gardens, with its 30 acres of plants from all over the world.

There are wonderful views over the Sussex countryside towards the South Downs. Dinner at your hotel. (B,D) Day 6. - Visit the
Scotney Castle Garden and Estate. The
moated 14th century medieval castle and landscape of Scotney together make this
one of England's most romantic places. The view from the Bastion, just below
the formal terraces of the "new" Scotney Castle, takes in the
glorious colors of Ghent azaleas in late spring. In the autumn, golden tulip
trees and crimson liquid ambers take center stage against a back cloth of
parkland and woodland which are part of the 770 acre Scotney Estate. Brilliant
displays of azaleas, rhododendron and calico bush (Kalmia latifolia), wonderful
walks through 770 acre estate. Travel to London (B)Day 7. - THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOWYou have a full day to explore the show.
