** UPDATE** I’ll be adding your suggestions to this list as they come in - this is going to be a BRILLIANT RESOURCE - thank you!!!

A couple of months ago (in a post that of course I can’t find now), a reader was asking for recommendations for good gardens and public green spaces to visit in another country. This started off a conversation about good places to go and places not to bother with.

All of this gave me the idea that I’ve been sitting on since then: wouldn’t it be good, if here in The Gardening Mind, we could provide a resource for garden and park visits if you’re travelling out of your local area?

Would you help me with this please? I’m looking for suggestions of gardens that you’ve visited and that you can personally recommend. Whether it’s a garden that takes a day to visit, or a park where you can go and sit in the shade of tree and which has a good cafe/play area/seating/planting, I think it would be an incredibly helpful resource for everyone.
