Spring at Hestercombe Gardens feels like stepping into a living painting. From the moment you wander through the famous Edwardian terraces designed by the legendary partnership of Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, every pathway, pergola and reflective water channel feels carefully choreographed to celebrate the season.

Set across 50 acres in Somerset, Hestercombe is a masterpiece of four centuries of garden design, from the romantic Georgian landscape garden with its lakes, cascades and woodland walks, to the Victorian shrubbery bursting with texture and colour. In spring, clouds of magnolia, camellia, rhododendron, tulips, foxgloves, primroses and fragrant wisteria create layer upon layer of colour, while ancient yews, copper beeches and specimen cedars frame those iconic English garden views.

What makes Hestercombe truly magical is the intricate planting design. Jekyll’s signature colour harmonies flow through the borders with dreamy combinations of silver foliage, lavender, iris, roses and soft pastel perennials designed to bloom in sequence through the season. Every turn reveals symmetry, balance and hidden vistas, from the Daisy Steps to the peaceful water gardens and the secret woodland valleys beyond.

Originally recorded as early as the 9th century and shaped over generations by the Warre and Portman families, Hestercombe is now considered one of the finest surviving examples of Arts & Crafts garden design in England. It’s not just a garden… it’s a masterclass in history, architecture and horticultural artistry! It has my favourite steps, stonework and pergola in all of the gardens that I have visited around the world!

If spring in England had a postcard-perfect destination, this would be it.

Hidden in the Oxfordshire countryside, Waterperry Gardens is pure spring magic . From pergolas clad in Wisteria and drifts of colourful spring bulbs, to tranquil ponds clothed in water lilies, every pathway feels like stepping into a secret English garden dream.
But Waterperry is more than just beautiful, hit helped change the future of horticulture in England. Founded in 1932 by pioneering women gardeners Beatrix Havergal and Avice Sanders, the site became one of the country’s most influential gardening schools for women, inspiring generations of horticulturists while also supporting wartime food-growing efforts during WWII.
Today, the famous 200-foot herbaceous borders, blossom-filled orchards, formal knot gardens and intricate planting schemes make Waterperry one of the most inspiring spring destinations in England. Every corner bursts with texture, colour and timeless garden design inspiration.

Take a spring stroll through the magical gardens of Pettifers Garden, one of England’s most enchanting hidden gems bursting with colour, texture and clever design.
Created by renowned plantswoman Gina Price, this intimate yet richly layered garden near Burford is a masterclass in year-round planting. In spring, the borders explode with tulips, fritillaries, alliums, forget-me-nots and clouds of flowering perennials, all woven together with incredible attention to colour and structure.

The garden’s intricate layout blends formal structure with romantic cottage-style planting, creating constantly changing views and hidden pockets of beauty at every turn.

From gravel paths lined with soft planting to the reflective lily pond and expertly clipped hedges, Pettifers feels both sophisticated and wonderfully relaxed, the kind of English garden that invites you to slow down and notice every detail. Spring in England truly shines here, with fresh green foliage, blossom-filled borders and buzzing pollinators bringing the whole garden to life.

Spring at Sudeley Castle is pure English garden magic. From the moment you wander through the castle grounds, every pathway feels like stepping into a living painting. Famous for its romantic ruins and connection to Queen Katherine Parr, who is buried here, Sudeley blends Tudor history with some of the most breathtaking seasonal planting in the Cotswolds.
In spring, the gardens burst alive with thousands of tulips, fragrant roses, peonies, and vibrant herbaceous borders carefully designed to flow with colour and texture through the season. Ancient yew hedges and topiary create structure and symmetry, while towering cedars, magnolias, colourful maple trees and rare specimen shrubs soften the landscape with layers of fresh spring colour.
The beautifully designed Knot Garden is a highlight, inspired by the pattern of Queen Elizabeth I’s gown, with intricate box hedging and richly planted beds creating an elegant Tudor-style masterpiece. Nearby, the Queens’ Garden celebrates England’s queens with over 80 varieties of roses, filling the air with perfume as bees buzz between the blooms.
Every corner of Sudeley feels thoughtfully curated, from secret pathways and reflective ponds to wildflower meadows framed by the rolling Gloucestershire countryside. It’s the perfect reminder of how English gardens balance precision planting with natural beauty.
Who else would happily spend all day wandering these dreamy spring gardens?

Spring at the glorious Kiftsgate Court is pure English garden magic. Perched high on the Cotswold escarpment above Mickleton, this breathtaking garden bursts into life each spring with billowing tulips, fragrant old roses, clouds of bluebells, flowering cherries, magnolias and drifts of wisteria weaving through the terraces and borders. The views across the Vale of Evesham are every bit as spectacular as the planting itself.
Created in the 1920s by the visionary Heather Muir and lovingly shaped by three generations of women gardeners, Kiftsgate is famous for its romantic yet intricate design. Winding paths lead through richly layered herbaceous borders, yew hedges, secluded garden rooms and a dreamy water garden, all planted with an artist’s eye for colour and texture. The legendary Rosa filipes ‘Kiftsgate’, one of Britain’s largest climbing roses is a true showstopper and a symbol of the garden’s timeless charm.
What makes Kiftsgate so special is how beautifully natural it feels despite the extraordinary attention to detail. Every corner has a softness and spontaneity that perfectly captures the romance of an English spring garden. From copper beeches and lime trees to vibrant azaleas, delicate primulas and cascading roses, this is cottage garden planting elevated to an art form.

Spring at Hidcote Manor Garden feels like stepping into a living masterpiece. Hidden in the rolling Cotswolds countryside, this world-famous Arts and Crafts garden was created by the brilliant plantsman Major Lawrence Johnston, who transformed a simple country estate into a series of breathtaking outdoor “garden rooms” from 1907 onwards.

Wandering through Hidcote in spring is pure garden magic. Every twist and turn reveals another beautifully designed “garden room” bursting with colour, texture and fragrance. From clouds of lavender and billowing tulips to elegant wisteria, old-fashioned roses, lilacs and delicate primroses, this iconic English garden is a masterclass in planting design.
Created by the visionary Major Lawrence Johnston in the early 1900s, Hidcote became one of the most influential Arts & Crafts gardens in Britain. Carefully clipped yew hedges, hornbeam avenues and intricate topiary frame the planting perfectly, while hidden pathways and long vistas create a sense of discovery around every corner.

In spring, the fresh green growth of beech and yew contrasts beautifully with flowering cherries, magnolias and drifts of blossom, while the famous Red Borders and intimate garden spaces come alive with vibrant seasonal colour. Johnston was also a passionate plant hunter, introducing rare species collected from across the world and giving rise to famous plants like Lavandula ‘Hidcote’.

It’s the kind of garden that slows you down, inspires creativity and makes you want to fill your own garden with layers of texture, scent and structure.

Spring at West Green House Garden feels like stepping into a storybook where every pathway reveals another burst of colour, fragrance and theatrical garden design. Nestled in the Hampshire countryside, this stunning 18th-century garden has been lovingly restored over the past 30 years by Australian designer Marylyn Abbott, blending classic English elegance with bold, imaginative planting.

In spring, the gardens truly come alive with rivers of blue Iris flowing beneath the famous Five Bridges Garden, and breathtaking Peonies and fragrant roses. Japanese maples, peonies, Iris, topiary and herbaceous borders create layer upon layer of texture and colour.

One of the most magical features is the grand Nymphaeum, where cascading water rills, moon gates and classical follies give the garden an almost Italian Renaissance feel right in the heart of England. Every garden room feels carefully choreographed, from checkerboard planting and oriental pergolas to romantic ponds and wisteria-covered bridges. It’s intricate, playful and utterly unforgettable.

And just when you think the garden couldn’t get more enchanting, the backdrop of the Georgian manor house and its rich history, including Marylyn’s links to opera, aristocracy and restoration after the IRA bombing in 1990, adds another fascinating layer to this remarkable place.
