2 for 1 Gardens - Cottage gardens

With fens like these

The cottage garden at The Manor, Hemingford Grey, in Cambridgeshire, is filled with texture and colour. The vibrant frothy green of Alchemilla mollis provides a foil to bristling blue nigella, while the demure bells of campanula contrasts with big and blowsy peonies. Foxgloves and roses complete this Arcadian cottage garden scene, set to the gentle drone of insects among the blooms.

ENTRY OFFER Garden: 2 for 1 £6, single reduced to £4. Under-15s free. Opening details at greenknowe.co.uk Offer not valid on 23 July or 10 September.

Tudor rose

Borders billowing with perennials and flowering shrubs await you at The Priest House and Gardens in West Sussex. Both beautiful and functional, the gardens feature over 170 traditional herbs. The house also boasts its fair share of history. During the dissolution of the monasteries it was seized by Henry VIII. It later passed to Thomas Cromwell, Anne of Cleaves, Mary I and Elizabeth I.

ENTRY OFFER House and garden: 2 for 1 £6.50. Opening details at sussexpast.co.uk/ the-priest-house Booking recommended. Offer not valid on event days.

We love July
BBC Gardeners World

We love July

July is an island floating between the joy of June and the slightly fatigued month of August. It's a grown-up month: the year has shrugged off its adolescent exuberances, the weather is (hopefully) warm enough for ice cream to be one of your five a day, the sea should be swimmable without (too much) danger of hypothermia and thoughts will be of holiday shenanigans and family barbecues. School's out this month, the next tranche of glorious summer colour is washing across our borders and it's my birthday. Lots of reasons to give three rousing cheers for July!
