The West Country, Wimbledon and Wonderful Gardens
The excitement of summer is unfolding in our gardens provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation, family fun, gatherings and celebrations. This season brings longer days, warmer weather, and gardens bursting with produce.
As Wimbledon approaches, one of summer's greatest joys can be enjoyed in style - fresh strawberries and cream! An iconic combination that resonates with the spirit of the tournament.
But, let’s not forget scones which are ideal for afternoon tea. Whip up a batch, add cream and strawberry jam and enjoy this classic pairing, whether you’re team ‘jam first’ or team ‘cream first’ (or, of course, any other combination).
Whether you're hosting a garden party or looking for some homegrown inspiration, we're showcasing five wonderful gardens that offer the perfect backdrop to the summer season, whatever your plans might be.
