Re: more gardens!
Abbotsbury in Dorset is an excellent place to visit for many reasons, not least of which is this:
https://abbotsbury-tourism.co.uk/gardens/
It is more or less next to the more famous swannery.

Re: more gardens!
http://www.opengardens.co.uk/index.php has lots of community garden openings, sometimes 20+ gardens in a village open for charity.
https://www.historichouses.org/ has lots of stately home gardens
Heale has lovely water channels, https://www.healegarden.co.uk/
and I'm a huge fan of the Garden at Miserden, https://www.historichouses.org/house/th ... den/visit/
If you can stretch to West Sussex, West Dean https://www.westdean.org.uk/gardens has the happiest plants in Britain

Re: more gardens!
This Sunday, Frampton-on-Severn in Gloucs (sometimes under Severn ) has its open gardens.
Frampton has the longest village green in England.
https://opengardens.co.uk/open_gardens.php?id=545
Also a small classic car show on the green. We'll be there.

If you want a chance to eat next to the garden, Le Manoir would fit the bill!!
We're a couple of weekends away from the London Square Open Gardens Weekend (11-12 June) which is always fun - there's all sorts of amazing gardens tucked away around London, from the classic garden squares to office-top ones and apothecary ones, plus a whole load of weird community ones, even (in times past at least) a ballot to go to the garden at No 10 (wine not included). Well worth doing if you've not been before.

Re: more gardens!
As it's coming up shortly it's worth noting for those near London that the London Open Squares weekend is 11 & 12 June this year.
There are some splendid roof top gardens that are open only on that weekend too.

Re: more gardens!
I went to Superbloom today. They've planted the moat of the Tower of London with wild flowers and created a slide into it (not for me but fun for kids) and about a 30 minute path where you wander through the spectacle. Happily, I don't suffer from Hay Fever so it was all very pleasant for a sunny afternoon. Get tickets in advance from the Royal Palaces Site:
