When you visit a garden, do you prefer to walk around on your own or to take a guided tour?
A few years ago I wrote something on this topic but never used it. Recently, though, cleaning up my computer, I came across the article and sent it to my friend Anne Wareham.
A group of gardeners visiting Glen Villa Art Garden
Anne is an author and garden maker. She and her partner Charles Hawes have created a wonderful garden in Wales called Veddw. She pioneered thoughtful garden writing with ThinkinGardens and now writes for Garden Rant and about Veddw on her Substack as The Not So Bad Tempered Gardener.

I was delighted when Anne asked me if she could use the piece on that online forum. And here it is .
Do take a look and let me know what you think. Consider subscribing to Anne’s Substack. Even better, visit Veddw!
Visiting Glen Villa Art Garden and York House
Would you like to visit Glen Villa Art Garden? Or see my new garden next door?
I’d be delighted to welcome groups of 12 or more, booked in advance. Simply put together a group of friends, neighbours and/or fellow gardeners and get in touch with me to find a mutually convenient time for a visit.
Guided tours cost $30 per person; unguided are $25 pp. and all funds raised will go to support the work of the Massawippi Foundation. In addition to touring Glen Villa and seeing my new garden as it develops, you’ll have a chance to walk Timelines, to explore a new way to think about garden design.
Great post,Thanks for sharing
