what garden would you recommend

[Martin H]

Thanks BM I have been to some of them but notice that one that I really enjoyed is missing thats Barnesdale Garden created by G. Hamilton, that is one that I would recomend as even her Ladyship liked that one, and after a discussion she has decided we want to go to Cornwall. But that could change

Nice thought. I've never been to Barnsdale but would like to go some time.

Martin I would strongly recommend this garden it covers fruit and veg. shrubs and flowers and of course it is also all organic which I dont do myself, but I got a sense of peace and tranquillity from walking round this garden and to me that made it one of the best gardens I have visited.

I"m with you rary, regards Barnsdale. I have been a couple of times and hope to go again next year. Would like to go twice in the different seasons of spring and high summer to see the differences.

Mothhawk both you and d.d.h.s.wife recommends Hidcote Manor, as I am stopping off at Worcester in July could you tell me if I would have to travel far to get to this garden?

[Ja9]

I love hidcote too.its about an hour according to my I pad map from Worcester

[Ja9]

Harlow Carr (RHS) in Harrogate is a lovely garden too, also the town is fab for shopping!

[rary]

Thanks for the information Ja9 I think I will try Hidcote, as it will be a Sunday morning I will be going I`m hopping the roads will be quiet, as for Harlow Carr I have visited that garden and found it quite pleasant, as for shopping, that could cost me money!!

[mothhawk]

rary, if you have google as a search engine, type in - distance from worcester to hidcote - it's quite clever and the top site will bring up the travelling time and a map. On the map will be a drop down list of directions.

Wait, I'll post the link - simpler all round

Mothhawk, thank you very much I have printed off the directions and am now looking forward to visiting Hidcote. I will let you know what I think of garden when I return home after my holiday as I am also heading to The Eden Project.
Again thanks

Just a note to say thanks to Mothhawk and the other members of the vine who recommended Hidcote. Went there while I was down that way and had a very good day, lots to see and plenty of colour in the gardens, all well maintained and a helpful and friendly guide to provide information
Again thanks to all who recommended this garden and also to every one who recommended their favorite garden to visit.
