Clever planting in this courtyard garden creates a forest-edge feel in an urban setting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

When it comes to buying, seeing or enjoying things these days, it is the experience that we are being sold as much as the \u2018thing\u2019 itself; the buzz word is experiential. Key brands have concept stores, virtual reality headsets offer a location or activity often far beyond our own limitations, and the major paintings of some of our greatest artists are being experienced as large-scale animations that bring the images to life and take our imaginations in new directions with new insights.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

As gardeners though, it\u2019s good to remember that we can achieve our own fully immersive experience in our gardens \u2013 a space to be surrounded by plants that bloom and grow, where we share that space with family, friends and wildlife; where past, present and future are right before our eyes and where we can play a role and learn from what\u2019s around us.<\/p>\n\n

All our gardens featured this month share that immersive quality. As part of the re-envisioning of the gardens at Chatsworth<\/a>, Tom Stuart-Smith has re-engaged visitors to Paxton\u2019s immense Rock Garden; narrow winding paths, fulsome planting and towering rocks create a strong sense of place. At Stokesay Flowers<\/a>, owners Barney and Victoria Martin have surrounded themselves in the romance of \u2018extraordinary English garden flowers\u2019. Part 2 of our series from Alys Fowler<\/a> on soil encourages us to immerse our hands in the earth, while a small city garden<\/a> cleverly creates a forest-edge feel with a light, airy tree canopy and restful planting.<\/p>\n\n

We hope you enjoy the experience,<\/p>\n\n
