Learn the secrets of the English country garden with SARAH RAVEN
Enjoy and exclusive talk from the garden designer, YOUR ITINERARY broadcaster and writer, as well as a private of Perch Hill and other stunning gardens in Kent and Sussex
Few things in life can compare to the joy of strolling through an English country garden at the height of summer, when roses, sweet peas and clouds of azaleas are all spectacularly on show.
This exclusive four-day trip, where you'll join other Country Living readers, has been repeated due to popular demand, and features private visits to world-class gardens in Kent and Sussex, plus a special event hosted by the inspirational Sarah Raven.
Garden enthusiasts will delight in the itinerary. Highlights include the shrubs and perennials of Great Comp Garden; glorious Scotney Castle; the magnificent Lullingstone Castle; the roses and lavender of Pashley Manor; another classic English garden at Great Dixter and an early bird visit to Sissinghurst where you will have the chance to explore the magnificent manicured gardens before they open to the public. What's more, you will have the opportunity to join Sarah for an exclusive talk about her experiences at Perch Hill. She will tell the story of Perch Hill's 25-year transformation from a dairy farm into 90 acres dedicated to flowers and vibrant gardens. You will join the gardeners on a private tour of the garden before enjoying a two-course lunch using fresh produce from the plot itself.
