This is an example of the many small and medium sized gardens around England’s Southwest. The Garden House is a definite stop on our Road Trip around England in June 2026. The photos below is from our stop in 2016. I keep coming back to this photo mainly for the design element of the A-Frame hedge wiggle through a flower bed.

Those of you interested in joining us for a portion of this road-trip, now is a good time to start planning. We have simplified the planning by introducing a flat day rate. This daily rate will include ground transportation, accommodations, all meals and garden admission. This is to make it easy for everyone to join us for two days, or for five days or for the entire duration of eighteen days. Make this a small part of your bigger journey in the UK and Europe.
For more details, use the Contact Mike form on the right-side column of my blog.
And of course, take a look at our trips in years past:
