VisitBritain - Welcome
In Britain, we consider gardening to be an art form rather than a pastime, and with distinct seasons and ample rainfall our climate is perfect for lush, flourishing foliage. Most stately homes and historic buildings are surrounded by vast grounds and superbly maintained gardens. Each garden is totally unique, ranging from wild country rose gardens to the carefully planned landscapes of Capability Brown. Which one is your favourite?
Botanic, herb, water, maze, oriental - the list of garden types goes on and on. Find out more about different garden styles and themes, and where you can visit them.
Read interviews with some of our most celebrated and original gardeners and landscape designers - remember, it's an art form not a pastime!
