For lovers of flowers July is the month when many gardens are looking at their best. And combined with long daylight hours and, hopefully, warm, sunny weather July is the perfect month to visit them.<\/p>\n

Gardens to visit in July 2022<\/h2>\n

June Blake\u2019s Garden, County Wicklow<\/h3>\n
The gardens of siblings June and Jimi Blake, across the water in Blessington near Dublin, are two I would always make an effort to visit. Both are exceptional plantspeople who have made remarkable gardens in different areas of the old family\u2019s estate, each with its own distinctive style and flavour, and both are jewels among Irish gardens. June\u2019s is known simply as June Blake\u2019s Garden and of the two it has a more formal structure with plantings that show off her considerable artistic flair.<\/p>\n

Jimi\u2019s better known garden, Hunting Brook, is set primarily around a magnificent natural woodland through which the brook of its name tumbles.<\/p>\n

Parkhead Gardens, Perth<\/h3>\n
If I had to choose a single genus that could encapsulate my memories of midsummer it would be the lilies<\/a>, especially those that carry that intoxicating scent. There will be lilies in many summer gardens I\u2019m sure, but I was surprised with such a large and diverse genus to find only two National Collections, both of the Mylnefield lilies, also known as the North Hybrids as they are a group of elegant hybrids bred by Dr Christopher North for conditions experienced in Scotland. One of these collections is held at Parkhead Gardens in Perth. The hybrids can also be seen in Branklyn Garden<\/a> \u2013 a National Trust garden that\u2019s\u00a0also in Perth.<\/p>\n

Newby Hall, Yorkshire<\/h3>\n
Staying north, but south of the border, the gardens of Newby Hall in Yorkshire are always worth a visit in high summer, and are best known for their long, double herbaceous borders.<\/p>\n
