Gardens of Cambridge and East Anglia

The Old Vicarage, East Ruston, Norfolk

F L O R A Garden Tours visits Cambridge Botanic Garden, College Gardens, Beth Chatto's Garden, East Ruston Old Vicarage and Alan and Adrian Bloom’s Gardens in Norfolk.

The tour is based at a fine old manor house near Cambridge. In this season of “mists and mellow fruitfulness” the city is a peaceful haven. We visit the Botanic garden and the cream of college gardens. September borders are bright with Michaelmas daisies, dahlias, sun flowers and a wealth of others. The college hanging baskets and late borders are spectacular and Alan Bloom’s Dell Garden, Adrian Bloom’s Foggy Bottom Garden and the internationally famous Beth Chatto Gardens all guarantee round-the-season colour.

We also visit a spectacular young garden at East Ruston Old Vicarage which will certainly win acclaim in the future.
