Open GardensGardens you can visit

Piet Oudolf built this four and a half acre garden. It's arranged as a series of hedged "rooms". Some are more appealing than others. There are some beautiful plants and plant combinations, and pieces of garden art, not only stand-alone pieces, but hand-made gate furniture, for instance.
Ideal for plantaholics - you get a plant list to help you identify the more unusual ones.

I visit this garden very often. This year was a big disappointment as there was very little there. It looked very dry and tired and has probably not seen rain for many months.

I'm just starting a garden...Any tips for me?
