Compiled below are some links with brief information on public and private garden tours, visits or trips available there.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Kent, England – One of the world’s most celebrated gardens, the creation of Vita Sackville-West and her husband Sir Harold Nicolson on the site of a medieval manor and some structures still survive. The property is now owned and maintained by the National Trust. The garden is in fact a series of some ten separate gardens, all delightfully different. Walls and hedges separate the gardens, giving the visitor the impression of peace and seclusion. This site showcase an absolutely fascinating and impressive virtual tour of its gardens with fabulous images.
