My 50 Favorite International Garden Settings of All-Time

February 25th, 2020

   Last week, I introduced you to a photo gallery of 50 of my favorite American garden settings of all-time.

The Quarry Garden at Butchart Gardens on Canada’s Vancouver Island… one of my favorite garden settings ever.

   This week, it’s time to take a look at 50 of my favorite international gardens that I’ve seen in the 30 or so years I’ve been a garden writer.

   As with the American ones, I picked these mostly because of a particular feature or setting that made the space impressively memorable.

   What helped me decide which to whittle out and which to keep was how I felt about being in the space.

   If it came down to a choice between an elaborate, impressive, one-of-a-kind feature vs. a space where I just wanted to stand there and marvel, I went with the latter.

   So here you go… “My 50 Favorite International Garden Settings of All-Time.”
