10 FOR THE HORTICULTURALIST

Sisley Garden Tours: Green fingered readers may be interested in the brand new ‘secret gardens' tours introduced by Sisley Garden Tours. These Exclusive

Escapes for Garden Lovers allow small groups (maximum 12 people) to visit some of the best private gardens in the UK, many never open to the public. The stays are each based at just one comfortable hotel and then gloriously unhurried days are spent delving into these stunning gardens, chatting to their owners and then getting back to your hotel for some wining and dining… maybe the odd gardening anecdote! The tours

will run May to September, when the gardens are at their spring and summer best. Destinations for 2021 are Cornwall, Dorset, the Wye Valley, North York Moors and

the Cotswolds. à sisley.co.uk/vip
