Hever Castle Gardens â Garden Visit
Driving back from Reigate I saw a sign for Hever Castle and remembered I wanted to pop in to have a look at the new Faith Garden.

Iâd been racking my brains to think of a garden to visit in Winter as most are all about impressive herbaceous borders of colour. Cambridge Botanic Gardens has a Winter Garden thatâs quite famous in horticultural circles.
I edited the pictures from this visit on a very raining Saturday afternoon and quite frankly it had me wanting to book a holiday immediately! It was such a beautiful afternoon in early autumnâŚ
I am familiar with the Royal Mile, having grown up in the Edinburgh environs. However I have to admit I know little of the history of the area or anything about the existence of any gardens. Whilst planning our Edinburgh Festival visit, my Mother came across the âSecret Gardens of the Royal Mile Tourâ by Greenyonder Tours, so we decided check it out.
This is a departure from my normal blog, as the name suggests, this garden is more about sculpture than planting hence the blog is too
Vita wrote of Sissinghurst: ‘The heavy golden sunshine enriched the old brick with a kind of patina, and made the tower cast a long shadow across the grass, like the finger of a gigantic sundial veering slowly with the sun. Everything was hushed and drowsy and silent but for the coo of the white pigeons.’
