	Eltham Palace Gardens. The Courtauld's were keen horticulturists and new areas were laid out including lawns, a mixed border, a sunken rose garden, a spring bulb meadow, a rock garden and woodland garden. A Newly planted 120m long mixed border opened summer 2000, as can be seen here this is now maturing nicely.		Charming Emmetts Garden is an Edwardian estate that was owned by Frederic Lubbock, and was a plantsman's passion and a much-loved family home. It is regularly being improved including a new rockery and much extended spring planting, including these tulips.
	Great Dixter the late Christopher Lloyd's garden in East Sussex is an example of cottage gardening on a large scale. The Manor of Dixter is first noted in 1220 and structural additions were made again in 1464. In 1910 the English architect Edwin Lutyens restored and extended Great Dixter and, with the owner Nathaniel Lloyd, designed the gardens.		Expertly planted in the early 1990’s, Merriments Gardens have matured into a stunning display of colour, textures and fragrance. Not as large as other gardens in Sussex, what they lack in size, they make up for in beauty.
	Pashley Manor is a quintessential English garden located on the Sussex and Kent border in the heart of South East England’s garden country. Pashley offers a sumptuous blend of romantic landscaping, imaginative plantings and fine old trees, fountains, springs and large ponds.		Sissinghurst’s beautiful garden was first laid out by novelist Vita Sackville-West and her diplomat husband Harold Nicolson in the 1930’s. The gardens surround the remains of an Elizabethan mansion. Though the place of passionate affairs and weekend parties, Sissinghurst Castle was also the backdrop to a loving family home.
	Titsey Place Garden´s upper terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the long views across the Darent Valley, which extends to the beginnings of the South Downs. The box link beds were planted over 150 years ago. The fountain at the centre of the lower terrace is a copy of one found in the Cloisters at Eton College.		The flagship garden of the RHS, Wisley captures the imagination with richly planted borders, luscious rose gardens and the state-of-the-art Glasshouse. Gifted to the Society in 1903, Wisley has evolved over time into a world-class garden.
