The walled garden at KneppANDREW MONTGOMERYThroughout history, gardens have been created to impose order on nature. Rows of carefully tended vegetables, neatly manicured lawns and impressive herbaceous borders with serried ranks of ornamental flowers have long been the pride of British gardens. But now, as a response to climate change, we are seeing a tendency towards a much more relaxed, nature-led approach which means we have to adjust our eye to a different, not so neat-and-tidy aesthetic.

Isabel and Julian Bannerman's garden at Ashington Manor in Somerset. Andrew MontgomeryI have visited hundreds of gardens over the past 25 years, and I think I could describe just a handful of them as truly ‘romantic’. For me, a romantic garden has a certain je ne sais quoi that you can’t quite put your finger on. It is usually about the atmosphere of the place, the feeling you get when you walk around. In terms of plants it is certainly the rose that wins the prize for most romantic flower.

The exuberant cottage-garden borders that run from east to west at the side of the house were some of the first to be created when the couple arrived. Contrasting with the tall yew beehives, the rich planting on either side of the path includes mounds of English lavender, with swathes of blood-red and fuchsia sweet williams, purple ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘Storm’ lupins, white foxgloves and deep blue delphiniums ‘Fenella’ and ‘Faust’.

Summer in Cordelia de Castellane's French gardenDean HearneThe colour dial turns up a notch in May. Vibrant greens are now joined by orange, magenta and blue, making my heart sing every time I look out of the kitchen window. Still young – and not yet growing upwards and weaving into each other – the perennials make hummocky shapes that form an undulating tapestry, with a river of forget-me-nots running through them.

My first auricula flower of the spring, early and confused, but oh so beautiful. I moved it from the greenhouse to take pride of place on my auricula theatre among violas and early primulas. Can’t wait for the others… https://t.co/rPfz8vP92p
