Allotments to be jealous of...
Come and see what we've been up to in our bid to create 1,000 new allotments. Check out Valley Farm kitchen garden at Flatford and the allotments at Felbrigg, which have been taken over by local families.
A garden for all seasons
Anglesey Abbey has a winter garden to be jealous of and a magnificent display of hyacinths in spring. The rose garden looks glorious in June, followed by dahlias in August while autumn colour is dazzling.
A touch of Italy in Suffolk
Explore Ickworth's Italian connections. It may not be the most colourful garden, but this evergreen landscape with specimen trees and hedges, shows the influence of the family's grand tour.
