The University of Worcester Garden - a low allergy garden. There was a calmness in this garden to sit around and have a 'rant'. Dr Anne really liked the coloured glass in the roof. 
SAC Strutt and Parker Sustainable Highland Garden - a contemporary take on a traditional Scottish way of life. The windbreaks are powered by a wind turbine on the roof of the house. They close to protect plants. Native planting, a water rill and insect homes under the windshields provide ideal conditions for birds and insects. 
Christian before Dior This garden reflects Dior's love of flowers and design and the influence these were to have on his couture collections and perfumes. Dr Anne particularly liked the hydrangeas in the big pots and of course the roses and lavender.
Global Stone Bee Friendly Plants Garden above and belowThis garden aims to draw attention to the important role that gardeners can play in sustaining the UK's threatened bee population. Dr Anne really liked the design of this garden.
Dr Anne has chosen the above as her favourite gardens. She principally chose them because of their design but she also particularly liked the planting in the Christian before Dior. 
Grey Granite is encouraged that Dr Anne is getting the biodiversity message. She also particularly liked the Bee Friendly Plants Garden, and would add the Daily Telegraph, Norwegian and Yorkshire Gardens to her list of favourites.
