Here is a hand-picked collection ofspecial places to stay, in England,Scotland and Wales. We bring youhotels, B&Bs, holiday cottages, onislands, estates, organic farms... Takea course with a Chelsea Gold Medalwinner in a secluded valley in Wales,discover a luscious plot planted toexcite the wildlife – and the senses –in Somerset. And pick up a few tipson the way: how to squirrel-proofbulbs, what to do with conkers, howto pollinate blossom with a rabbit tailon a stick.

We value these hosts for theirhospitality as well as their greenfingers, and their houses are everengaging. You will not be sleepingin the garden shed.
