Bury Court<\/h3>\n
The Courtyard Garden at Bury Court Barn was created by owner John Coke, in collaboration with Piet Oudolf. This naturalistic and flowing style of planting is intelligently contained here within a garden scale that feels relevant and accessible to the majority of us. The gardens are open once a month, for\u00a0 the Plantsman\u2019s Days, in which the delightful and highly knowledgeable Marina Christopher offers a masterclass on how to extend your displays, followed by a guided tour of the gardens. Bury Court Barn, Bentley, Farnham, Surrey GU10 5LZ. Tel 07771 663437, <\/strong>burycourtbarn.com<\/strong><\/a> Check the website before travelling to see if the Plantsman\u2019s Days are currently running.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Great Comp Garden<\/span><\/h3>\nYou know you\u2019ve made it as a nurseryman or gardener, when your name becomes synonymous with a particular plant. This is true of William Dyson and his collection of salvias at Great Comp Garden. William is curator of the garden in Sevenoaks, and his adjoining nursery offers a huge range of salvias that can be seen in varied garden situations \u2013 responding particularly well to the hot, drier conditions of August. Visitors can also explore gardens that wrap around a 17th-century manor house and showcase many unusual perennials, including kniphofias, crocosmias, dahlias<\/a> and many grasses and shrubs. Comp Lane, St Mary\u2019s Platt, Sevenoaks, Kent TN15 8QS. Tel 01732 885094, greatcompgarden.co.uk<\/a>. <\/strong>Tickets can be purchased only at the admission gate, and the nursery, garden and tea room are open from 10am to 5pm.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Marchants Hardy Plants<\/span><\/h3>\nAs the summer rolls on, and our focus turns to late summer-flowering perennials and grasses, a visit to Graham Gough\u2019s nursery Marchants Hardy Plants is a must. Graham and his wife Lucy have created a wonderful garden, despite the horticultural challenges of an incredibly exposed, cold site with very heavy soil. Inspired by naturalistic planting styles, Graham has developed a fine collection of perennials, and his artistic eye is matched by his immense knowledge. He particularly excels at using tried-and-tested grasses, from panicums to pennisetums, which intermingle with eupatoriums, sedums and asters. Open Wednesday to Saturday until mid-<\/span>October. 2 Marchants Cottages Mill Lane, Laughton, Lewes, East Sussex BN8 6AJ. <\/strong><\/span>Tel 01323 811737, marchantshardyplants.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/strong>Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday only, 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm. Maximum of six customers preferred on the nursery at one time.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
