Went to RHS Rosemoor yesterday on a lovely sunny day - first visit. I liked it better than Wisley, it was such a beautiful setting with hills all around it. There is a lot to see and plants to marvel at!

Jephson Gardens was hit by the recent floods. I think most of the bedding plants weren't harmed too badly. The area around the lake flooded, but I suspect it will recover quickly.

12 years of visiting down here and 4 years of living and I still haven't been!! Will definately be going this year though

 

Lake Maggiore is a gardener's paradise. There are spectacular and interesting gardens to visit easily by boat. We preferred Isola Madre to its more famous sister - Isola Bella. It was less formal and had more flowers and plants to enjoy. It has its own microclimate and plants not hardy elsewhere grow happily there. Its setting of course is breathtaking.

Enjoyed the formal gardens and the wonderful views across Somerset to the hills. What a setting! I found a plant I did not recognise, so I took a photo to see if anyone else knows what it is! Lovely colour combinations in the different areas. I felt like pulling up weeds, however...

Wonderful garden - for the rarity of the period garden as well as the unusual features.

 

A wonderful restoration project and certainly worth a visit,easily combined with the Botanical Gardens of Wales

A wonderful place to visit - a 'must see' for any visit to Cornwall

On open garden - The Lost Gardens of Heligan

 

Not a huge garden, but it's a definate 'must see' if you're ever in the area. Such a relaxing place to visit

I had great fun today - not as much rain as expected but very muddy - glastonbury for gardeners! The floral pavillions were lovely and I couldn't resist buying one or two things. I think the whole thing about Hampton Court is that it is fun, relaxed and informal and if you ignore all the sales banter you might just find a bargain or two!
