While researching this trip in July 2020, armed
with Abigail Willis’s new book ‘Secret Gardens of
Somerset’, I happen to run into her by accident
at Yeo Valley Organic Garden; and what a happy
accident it proved to be! Abigail will join us for
one evening on this tour, one particular highlight
of which is a visit to the new ‘no-expense spared’,
immaculately maintained garden venture at The
Newt (formerly Hadspen House).
Tour highlights
• See the late Margery Fish’s cottage gardens at
East Lambrook Manor, where she wrote her eight
classic gardening books
• Visit the Newt, extraordinary walled gardens,
flower borders and kitchen gardens
• See the gardens at Batcombe House, home of
garden designer Libby Russell
