Beautiful RHS Garden Wisley

The annual crocus spectacular is starting to appear on the Conifer Lawn here at RHS Garden Wisley. The recent warm weather has brought this display on a little ahead of time this year, so we’ll be watching closely as more start to bloom.

It might be Hidden Ireland but we found Kilmokea Country Manor & Gardens when we did our recky last year. Looking forward to the most delicious soda bread for our lunch when we visit in June 2024. Spaces available for this glorious Irish tour with Wisteria Tours.

Kilmokea, this pretty Georgian stone rectory set amid seven acres of award-winning gardens and nestled on the shores of the River Barrow in Co. Wexford, is a long standing Hidden Ireland member. A very warm welcome awaits those lucky enough to stay here.

🎄Chatsworth House, Wisteria Tours had the most marvellous time last week. We got ahead with our shopping at the Christmas Market, saw the house in all its festive glory and finally, were thrilled by the evening light trail. The grand finale was a beautifully animated video lighting up the façade of the house with the theme of advent, as shown.

We'll be back next year! 🎄🍂

With themed trees and decorations in each of the rooms, discover ‘All That Glitters’ inside the festively decorated Georgian Mansion at Attingham.

Our visit in June this year to HUNTING BROOK GARDENS was one to be remembered. With glorious colourful planting and Jimi Blake’s joy in his garden this was a special visit. I particularly recall a peaceful stroll through the woods to the wildflower meadow 😊

20/08/2023

I just had to share this. A firm favourite with gardeners and garden lovers alike. Great Dixter House and Gardens our last visit was during the heatwave of 2022 but the heat didn’t detract from this beautiful garden.
