NEW Gardens of Romance
TUESDAY 29 MAY
Think of a tour with fragrant roses, weeping wisteria, perfectly clipped yew shapes, more roses, rippling water, splashing fountains and you have our day. Tucked away in CHISWICK is the garden of designer Vivian Cantor where plants are festooned from vertiginous heights to create an outside room of pure romance. Also in CHISWICK the winding path curves the long length of Rosemary Day’s garden entices you on…and on. Here is a gardener who delights in dense foliage it its many shapes and uses it as a fabulous foil for flowers. Walking the busy street of WEST HILL it is impossible to imagine where there might be a garden, but step inside one Georgian façade and you are transported into another world, for Sue Roscoe-Watt has created an exquisite oasis of calm loveliness – so quiet you can hear a pin drop!
PRICE: £85 including lunch
START & FINISH: Semley Place, Buckingham Palace Rd SW1W
Time: 9.30am
