The New English Garden List of gardens Armscote, Oxfordshire Dan Pearson A walled garden dignified by Dan Pearson's modern plantings, which lend subtle chic (and another landform) to a traditional space. Mount St John, Yorkshire Tom Stuart-Smith One of Stuart-Smith's finest and most ambitious works, in his signature planting style. Packwood House, Warwickshire Mick Evans TheNational Trust's head gardener at Packwood demonstrates how superb and original planting can complement historic topiary. Scampston Hall, Yorkshire Piet Oudolf Grasses and perennials galore at Piet Oudolf's most significant private commission thus far, a huge project in a walled garden at an historic house. Daylesford House, Gloucestershire Rupert Golby The traditional yet imaginative stylings of Rupert Golby can be enjoyed to fine effect in this private garden. Ascott, Buckinghamshire: The Lynn Garden Jacques and Peter Wirtz Sinuous curves, grassy mounds, oaks, swamp cypress and yellow-woods. Great Dixter, East Sussex Christopher Lloyd and Fergus Garrett Head gardener Fergus Garrett is making this ever-changing garden his own after the death of his employer and mentor Christopher Lloyd.

Gresgarth, Lancashire Arabella Lennox-Boyd Arabella Lennox-Boyd's garden is a laboratory for design ideas and a fine design in its own right.
