Comments (9)Stunning!! I agree, it's not what I want in my own yard, but I sure do think it is beautiful and would LOVE to see it up close and personal! Thanks for sharing the photo. Ill-Man, you've BEEN there???? (I take it "there" is France, since it's called a chateau? Couldn't find anything that gave the location.) You are SO well-traveled! I'm truly impressed. Did you go to Russia this year? Marcia...See MorePotager Gardens/Veggie Gardens in England?
Comments (3)if in London, go to Kew gardens http://www.kew.org/ not what you are after but great anyway, also look out for Garden safaris, where local people open up their gardens for charity, they will have 20+ home gardens to nose round, mainly June/July. http://www.redcross.org.uk/opengardens_searchresults.asp?id=54243&txtPageNo=1&txtEventLocation=EC2Y9AL http://www.ngs.org.uk/gardens/local-to-you/south-east/visit-ngs-open-gardens-in-kent.aspx http://www.kentgardenstrust.org.uk/visit.html http://www.touruk.co.uk/gardens/gardens_in_kent.htm http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-beta-map.htm?quicksearch Most of the above links will include places with veg, but they don't advertise the fact, as they tend to draw the visitors with flowers. try e-mailing, I know Goodnestone park gardens has veg, as I only lived 1/2 mile away and used to cycle there and have a pint at the Fitzwilliam Arms Pub! my the prices have gone up in 5 years! on their map it doesn't even indicate the veg, but it is next to the house, by the greenhouses! and Sissinghurst gardens have just opened a veg garden. village fates, you will get to see local produce by home gardeners and they will be around to talk to, as they will be keeping a check on their produce before judging! those British Murder Mystries have their heart in village fates! Hope this helps and enjoy your visit Can you guess I am from Kent? :) the furthest points of Kent from London is about 70-75 miles, and the trains are not bad, bus services again pretty good, but most of these places are easier to get to by car.
