Sissinghurst Castle Garden

The second garden on our tour was the impeccable Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Kent.  This garden is one of the best, if not the best garden in England.  Known for the room division where each room is distinctive in color, texture or theme.   Once inside the room, all you see is that room, The Tower and the tree tops from the borrowed landscape of the English countryside.
