Der Traumgarten
Sissinghurst, der historische Landsitz in der englischen Grafschaft Kent, ist Sehnsuchtsort zahlloser Pflanzenfreunde, denn dort befindet sich ein unvergleichlicher Garten. Die berühmte Schriftstellerin Vita Sackville-West und ihr Mann Harold Nicolson erworben das Anwesen 1931 und verwandelten den Park im Laufe der Jahrzehnte in eine atemberaubende grüne Oase. Tim Richardson nimmt den Leser mit auf eine Tour durch die einzelnen Gartenräume und erläutert ihre historische Planung und Gestaltung. 1967 übernahm der National Trust das Gelände und sorgte dafür, dass die ursprünglichen Entwürfe Sackville-Wests und Nicolsons erneut umgesetzt wurden. Diese Anlage ist eine einzigartige Quelle der Inspiration für Gartenfreunde!
