Which are your favourite gardens?
Waterperry Gardens was my favourite visit this year. It is a magical place where you are surrounded by beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers, classical borders, modern planting, with secret corners and long vistas. They also have a hidden garden in a ‘silent space’ that was so peaceful and tranquil, where you can sit and reflect without being disturbed by the human voice.
