A Gardener’s Tour of ‘the Garden of England’

Great Dixter house and garden

“Our vague idea of a trip to see some gardens in England became a dream trip…

with a visit to Kew Gardens, the once-in-a-lifetime experience of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, driving the beautiful English countryside and touring historic castles, estates, and gardens. Combined with the energy of London and the medieval towns of Rye and Arundel, it was nearly perfect.

Early in planning, Emma met us through video calls to learn about our wishes and interests. From there, Emma used her local knowledge and experiences to take care of the details to make this trip special. She checked on us and supported us while we were in the country; and we knew she was available if we needed her. Certainly, Crown and Country will hear from us again when we make our next trip to England.
