East Lambrook Manor: Cottage Garden. Margery Fish created this garden in the 1950's. A lean time for the English. There was no one to hire nor was there any money to employ help. One became their garden labour.
Hestercombe: Art and Crafts garden by Gertrude Jekyll restored by original drawings and plant listing in the 1980's. To this day the best living example of her work. More on the history of Hestercombe.

Rousham: Excellent example of the transitioning of gardening styles from the Continental to English Landscape Garden. Great example of the early use of 'Eye Catchers' and the HaHa.
