Enjoy a delightful day immersed in two of England’s most iconic and inspiring gardens. Begin your journey at Sissinghurst Castle Garden, a romantic and atmospheric retreat created by writer Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson. Wander through a series of beautifully planted garden "rooms," each with its own distinct character and charm, all set around the remains of an Elizabethan mansion.

We then travel to Great Dixter, the former home of celebrated gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd. Famed for its bold planting schemes and ever-evolving borders, Great Dixter offers a feast of colour, texture, and horticultural creativity. The medieval house and surrounding gardens reflect a unique blend of tradition and innovation, making it a must-see for gardening enthusiasts.

This day offers a perfect combination of history, horticulture, and inspiration in the heart of the Kent countryside.
