I had a great week in Hampshire, Somerset and Dorset, tracking down some winter colour, after long weeks of drowning in mist, rain and darkness… signs of spring! so thanks to Hilliers Gardens and especially to the ever brilliant East Lambrook Manor… Mike Werkmeister who has been there for years is selling up and there will be new owners, so let’s hope that whoever they are, look after this important garden…a lovely few days, back on the road, searching for gardens and plants to inspire.
