RHS Sissinghurst Castle Garden
When poet and writer Vita Sackville-West and her diplomat and author husband Harold Nicolson fell in love with Sissinghurst Castle in the early 1930s, it looked quite different from what we see today. The buildings were used to house farm workers, and the garden, which had yet to be laid out, mostly grew vegetables. The surrounding farm grew cereals and there were also well-established orchards and hop gardens.

Created over 30 years, Harold's architectural planning of the garden rooms, and the colourful, abundant planting in the gardens by Vita, reflect the romance and intimacy of her poems and writings. Heralded for its beauty and diversity, the garden at Sissinghurst is said to be one of the most famous gardens in England – the epitome of the English garden.
