Now owned maintained by the National Trust, the garden at Sissinghurst Castle in the Weald of Kent, is among the most famous gardens in England and is Grade I listed. Sissinghurst’s garden was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. 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.
