I love Sissinghurst (who wouldn't) as I was brought up in the south east, but I am very fond of Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire (I think). When my son was a toddler, it was the time of the foot and mouth crisis, and although we lived in the Peak District at the time, it was very difficult to get out and about, because all the footpaths were closed off. So we joined the National Trust. Biddulph is very quirky - lots of themed gardens from around the world, and unexpected things - my son was always keen to rush about finding his favourite things - sculptures and tunnels and bridges - all sorts!
I am also a member of the RHS and living close to Wisley visit on a regular basis.
Some gardens that I have enjoyed visiting are:
My personal favourites are:
Would love to visit Beth Chatto's garden in Essex.
I believe there is a wonderful laburnam arch at Bodnant scroggin. Don't know if that will be out when you go. I have always fancied seeing that.
I like plants and growing things. I like gardens with interesting collections of unusual plants. Beth Chatto's for one.
and smaller ones as well.

In the sticks near Peterborough
I visited Anglesey Abbey as a result of reading on this forum & was blown away by the ''snowdrop walk''---I think at different times of the year there will be different gardens of interest---but, a great big but----was the lack of organisation in the restaurant; not enough staff, long queues etc etc---& it was mid week & it wasnt in school holidays!!!
Well mine is on the roundabout near retford turn left towards the power station its a real garden nursery lots of plants flowers shrubs the staff are great and very helpful highly recommended And also they have my business cards hung up on the door !
