RHS Rosemoor
Originally a private garden of eight acres (3.2 hectares) created by Lady Anne Berry over a thirty year period from 1959, Rosemoor is today one of the jewels in the crown of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Lady Anne gave her garden, along with a further 32 acres (13 hectares) of land, to the RHS in 1988. It was the Society’s first regional garden and second only to Wisley - to which the new gardens created since Lady Anne’s time bear a definite similarity.
Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
The architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, is probably best known for his creation of the 'Italianate' village of Portmeirion on the north-west coast of Wales. A fantasy landscape, visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year ...
Less well-known is Sir Clough's ancestral home and garden at Plas Brondanw. Here, long before he embarked on Portmeirion, Sir Clough created one of the finest 'Arts & Crafts' gardens in Britain.
