Other Gardening Experiences in Oxfordshire

One of the first influences on me when I studied at the prestigious Oxford College of Garden Design was a trip to WaterPerry.  Waterperry has a wonderful heritage in horticulture, having been the first place that 'ladies' trained in horticulture and gardening back over 70 years ago when it was formed.  This little video was taken in Spring at WaterPerry - it's well worth a visit at any time of year though, especially for its magnificent herbaceous border.

Also Not to be missed is Oxford Botanic Garden

This Garden is one of my favourites in all seasons and is a great photographic experience as well as it benefits from a lovely light. Oxford Botanic is a national reference collection of 7,000 different types of plant, making it the most compact yet diverse collection of plants in the World – there is even more biological diversity here than there is in tropical rain forests and other biodiversity hotspots.
