Explore some of Denmark’s diverse garden gems on our exclusive four-day tour of Copenhagen and Zealand

- David Wheeler is editor of the gardening journal Hortus. In 2009 he was awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal from the RHS. David will be joined by landscape architect Greg Kobett.

We begin our tour in the oasis of the King’s Garden in Copenhagen, next to the plant-rich landscape and curvaceous glasshouse­s of the Botanical Garden. We then stroll through the baroque park at the royal palace, with its Prince Consort kitchen garden and Queen of Denmark orangery. Next is Exillion, Peter Wibroe’s Copenhagen house, with its formal garden and Moorish hideaways. ØsterGro’s roof-top community garden is a calming refuge after a visit to Tivoli, where a series of unlikely gardens have been created in the world’s oldest amusement park. A trip to the romantic Petersgaar­d Manor includes dinner in the 1870s conservato­ry. Finally, we visit Hans Sattrup and Keld Nielsen’s farmland garden on the island of Møn, Marianne Follings’ perennial garden, Gudmund Brandt’s medicinal garden, and a chilli and herb nursery for a farewell lunch.
