Hello Nancy,
Of the gardens I have visited, my two personal favourites are Beth Chatto's
and Hidcote Manor.
Beth Chatto's garden is near Colchester, Essex, approximately 10 acres of
sublime beauty, with a woodland area, water area and gravel garden. Plants
are grouped according to their natural habitat and I only wish I was capable
of writing a clearer description for you.
Hidcote Manor is near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, also approximately
10 acres. The garden is divided into 'rooms' and in the National Trust
Gardens handbook is described as an 'Arts and Craft garden'. It is a
mixture of formal planting and natural planting.
Since moving from the London area some 23 years ago, I have not revisited
Kew Gardens, but would think that this should definitely be on your list.
I know you will have a wonderful trip whichever gardens you visit.
Valerie, South Yorkshire, England.
