GARDENS, FLOWERS AND GARDENING

The gardens of Britain may look drab and uninviting during winter months, but when spring makes its welcome arrival new life bursts from the warming soil and colours of every imaginable hue cloak the landscape.

Here you’ll discover the best of British garden landscapes – from images of the extensive and formal gardens of stately homes and castles in England, Scotland and Wales, to cottage gardens that are bursting with gaudy spring and summer blooms, and community gardens that provide a haven of tranquillity,

Flowers transform urban areas too, and with hanging baskets, window boxes and plants growing in decorative and unusual containers being a delightful feature of towns and villages, the most bland of environments is transformed into a place of beauty.
