We went to Christopher Lloyd's garden, Great Dixter, last year in June. It was gorgeous, probably my favourite garden of the perennials sort. http://www.greatdixter.co.uk/ David Austin's is my favourite rose garden. Don't think Great Dixter has roses. It's in Northiam, East Sussex. We have a flat in Eastbourne so it's not too hard for us to visit.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I love Gt Dixter - we visited in late summer which was a fabulous time to see the plantings - I still enjoy looking at the photos I took (pre digital days so it was that long ago - must be about 15 years ago - time to go again
The house is well worth a visit too!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yeys! Great idea Fidget! Can I be the "novice says" reviewer?
Definitely up for Beth Chatto but suspect I'll be a pain in the wotsit about dates. Won't feel hurt if you go for a date I can't do, but can I kick off the suggestions? How about Sunday 10th august?
I think you said you couldn't do third weekend? Well I can't do 1st or 4th weekend so homed in on 2nd weekend. But would need to be home by 6pm on sat 9th which is ok by me but I'd like to pick you and panda up and wouldn't want to curtail the post garden Adnams so suggested the Sunday.....

"Mystery shopper visits"
What the paying punter sees, on an incognito visit, as opposed to what the photojurnalist is shown on a pre arranged visit. It could catch on....
We have a team, ready and able, Daniel......
