Britain's greatest gardens
Kew, Wisley, Sissinghurst, Hidcote — twelve gardens to plan a year of visits around.
The British have raised garden-making to a national art. These twelve are the year-round set-pieces: Kew (year-round Mediterranean and tropical glasshouses), Wisley (the RHS flagship), Sissinghurst (Vita Sackville-West's white garden), Hidcote (Lawrence Johnston's outdoor rooms) and the Cornish trio Trebah, Heligan and Trelissick (sub-tropical microclimates).
