"Sissinghurst's garden was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet
and gardening writer, and her husband Harold
Nicholson, author and diplomat. Sackville-West was a
writer on the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group who found her greatest popularity in the weekly columns she
contributed as gardening correspondent of The
Observer, which incidentally – for she never touted
it – made her own garden famous. Sissinghurst's garden is one of the best-loved in the
whole of the United Kingdom, drawing visitors from all over the world. The garden itself is
designed as a series of "rooms", each with a different character of colour
and/or theme, divided by high clipped hedges and pink brick walls."http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-sissinghurstcastlegarden/

Loved your Sissinghurst pictures - especially to see the vegetable garden about which I have heard so much! Since you have added your name to my followers list, no doubt you saw mine taken some time ago in early spring. I will follow your blogging!
