Road Trip 2026 - RHS Rosemoor

The gardens at Rosemoor have a great sense of experiment.  Unlike many gardens in England, there is not a character or personality attached to it.  The houses are of only a supportive role, it’s all about the plant here.   Last time we visited was in 2016 and I am eager to see how things have progressed.

Photos from our 2016 and 2012 visits. 

If you’re interested, we are now planning this trip.  Time to influence the itinerary is now.  Let’s us know you want to go.  This will not be one of those stale small-group tours.  It’s a Road-Trip.

Hedges

Before this trip to England in 2012, I didn't have much to say about hedges other than banality. There are a few things I retained from this experience and to have fun with hedges is one of those ideas. The gardens at Hidcote pushed my edge. In the top photo we see two different plants hedge into a single plane. I think those are Yews with a Boxwood silhouette.

Astonishing. (If you haven't noticed, this trip has also made me learn more superlatives.)
