About Sissinghurst Castle Garden
Sissinghurst Castle Garden is one of England's most romantic and influential gardens, created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson in the 1930s. This National Trust property is renowned for its innovative design and stunning plant combinations that continue to inspire gardeners worldwide. The garden is divided into a series of "rooms," each with its own distinct character and color scheme. The famous White Garden, created in 1950, is a masterpiece of monochromatic planting that has been copied in gardens around the world. The Rose Garden bursts with old-fashioned roses and companion plants, while the Cottage Garden mixes vegetables with flowers in a charming, informal style. The Lime Walk provides a formal structure, while the Herb Garden and Nuttery offer more intimate spaces. The Tower, where Vita Sackville-West wrote, offers panoramic views across the Kentish Weald. The garden's design philosophy of "cram, cram, cram" creates a lush, abundant feel that celebrates the beauty of plants. Sissinghurst is particularly beautiful in late spring and early summer when the roses are in full bloom, but each season brings its own delights. The garden has been carefully maintained to preserve Vita and Harold's vision while adapting to modern gardening practices.
