Violets and Tea’s Virtual Garden Tours
Join Violets and Tea as we traverse the English countryside visiting our favourite gardens on our exclusive virtual garden tours.
Take in the sheer beauty of England's gardens and be enchanted by historic landscapes full of horticultural delights, all from the comfort of your own home. Enjoy some of the country’s most famous and lesser-known gardens, with exclusive access to stunning private gardens rarely open to the wider public.
On our virtual meanderings, we will be providing you with unrivalled behind-the-scenes access with the virtual tours guided by the very people who put their heart, soul and passion into creating and maintaining these wonders. You will also gain insight into historical events that shaped the gardens we explore, accompanied by background information on the topics raised; for a tour that is both inspiring and informative.
As a little treat from us (we all need it this year!), we are sharing our first virtual tour of the Garden at Miserden with everyone for free.
We are just starting on this journey ourselves, and invite you to come with us.
The Garden at Miserden
On what turned out to be the hottest day of the year, we headed to the Gardens at Miserden for the first of our Violets and Tea virtual garden tours.
I was joined by Major Tom and Nicholas Wills who guide us around this serene garden.

Each virtual tour lasts for 30-40 minutes and includes a walk around the garden with the owner / gardener, plus accompanying relevant information.

VIRTUAL GARDEN TOURS - INTRODUCTION VIDEOS
The Picton Garden
The Picton Garden is an astonishing garden in a lovely region of England known as the Three Counties specifically designed to glow late in the season. It sits alongside Old Court Nurseries which specialises in Asters.
We are joined by Helen Picton whose grandfather first created the garden and continued the work of Edwardian Aster breeder, Ernest Ballard.
