We've put together a selection of our favourites to visit by theme, be it for superb autumn colour, wildlife-friendly/natural gardens or productive kitchen gardens.


A taste of the tropics

You don't need to travel as far as the Caribbean for a tropical getaway with temperate gardens right here in the UK that are bursting with exotic blooms and vibrant colours. Some areas of the country such as the Cornish coast benefit from special microclimates allowing sub-topical plants to flourish. Visit them for a sensory treat even on the gloomiest days.

With so many to choose from, it was a tough selection, but here are 10 tantalising tropical and exotic getaway gardens to visit, so you can feel like you've been whisked away to faraway lands...
