A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a 2 course Garden Lunch wtih coffee, hosted by Susan Cunliffe-Lister who has pioneered the gardens & grounds at Swinton Park & who will give an insight into the restoration & design of the parkland and walled garden, and of her planting scheme. After lunch, there's a guided tour of the grounds. Be inspired!

Your garden lover may already have been to the world famous Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (you could treat them to tickets here), but how about treating them to a visit to Hampton Court Palace, when they are able to explore the magnificent State apartments & beautiful gardens at leisure, before following it up with a delicious Champagne Afternoon Tea at the nearby Kingston Lodge hotel?

This is not really classed as a gardening gift as such - but had to include it here, because the reviews raved so much about the Afternoon Tea (served between 3 and 5pm) and the grounds are fantastic. This beautiful home (of the 11th Duke of Marlborough) is set in 2,100 acres of stunning parkland. After touring the palace and gardens, the Champagne Afternoon Tea is served in the Indian Room, which looks out over the Water Terraces & Fountains.
