  1. It would have to be a visit to Monet garden in Giverny. For someone who paints and loves the art of the impressionists, this very high on the must see bucket list.

  2. Any garden with a flat walking/pushing walkway to make life easier for my husband to ” take a little
    air ” .

  3. I would visit the Monte Palace Gardens on the beautiful volcanic island of Madeira. With the sub tropical climate & year round mild temperatures, this garden grows around 100,000 plant species from across the world. Apart from the lush vegetation Monte Palace Gardens is also home to sculptures & Minerals from around the world, precious & semi precious gems, a collection of tiles, a small museum, artwork, birdlife, fish, & living fossils. Monte Palace is more than just a garden.

  8. My wife and I would love to return the gardens at the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. We had a magical day there about eight years ago. A truly special place.

  9. I would like to visit Kew at Christmas all lit up – I have seen Wisley lit up and that was wonderful.

  10. Would love to visit Wisley as we have recently moved from the North of England and would love this to be our fairly local favourite place.

  11. I would love to visit the Chelsea Flower Show and see all the wonderful gardens that are designed for the show and then dismantled. It would soothe my soul and bring such peace.

  12. I’d love to return to the Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. I went once, it was beautiful but poured with rain all the time. It would be even better to see it in the sunshine. Fingers crossed!

  13. I would love to visit the Three Great Gardens of Japan, I have never been to the country but I love their culture.

  14. We used to live close to Wisley and visited occasionally. It is a lovely place so it would be good to return.

  15. We visited the Eden Project many years back and would love to take our Grandchildren now they are old enough to appreciate all the beautiful fauna and flora.

  16. I should like to revisit the Eden Project at a different time of the year to that when I went last (winter)

  17. I certainly agree with you. Kew holds some very fond memories for me, and it has been too long since I last had the pleasure of a visit.

  18. Apart from Wisley I’d love to explore the wonderful Beth Chatto Gardens. From what I’ve seen, It’s stunning at any time of the year. Always something to get your attention.

  19. Currently keeping an eye on Blossom Watch at Alnwick. Health issues have kept us at home this year, but a day amongst the pure white cherry blossoms could be a real tonic
