A celebration of scent, sight and sound. Nowhere loves gardening quite like the UK, Ireland and France.
The picture-perfect water lilies at Giverny. The gentle buzz of a wildflower meadow at Hidcote. The trend-defining glamour of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Garden tours with NoteWorthy are as varied and colourful as the borders themselves. As the seasons change, we shape our garden tours to capture the best of the planting, from the sweeping drifts of spring bulbs to the golden leaves of autumn.
Many of the UK’s finest gardens are within easy reach of central London: the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, the Chelsea Physic Garden, RHS Wisley and perennial favourites Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. A little further afield, The Cotswolds offers impossibly beautiful villages and equally magical gardens, whether it’s the Arts & Crafts elegance of Hidcote or His Majesty The King’s pride and joy: Highgrove House.
Just outside Paris, NoteWorthy unlocks a treasure trove of garden tours. Normandy itself is home to numerous châteaux and castles, while stately homes such as Versailles and Chantilly boast some of Europe’s most spectacular historic landscapes.
Known as ‘The Emerald Isle’, Ireland is the stepping-stone to beautifully lush gardens. Located just outside Dublin, Powerscourt is a favourite, framed by dramatic landscapes, not to mention an excellent spa and restaurant. Scotland offers Britain’s oldest botanical gardens in Edinburgh and historic castle gardens at Scone Palace, Inverary, Abbotsford and Dunrobin. From blooming heathers to the pyrotechnic colour of rhododendrons and azaleas, there’s beauty in every season.
Horticultural experts and green-fingered enthusiasts, our guides are carefully selected for their knowledge and flair for storytelling. From secret viewpoints to hidden grottos, rare specimens to National Collections, they will help you truly appreciate these precious spaces.
The finest garden tours transcend planting schemes and seasonal colour. They capture a sense of place.
