In this third and last instalment of our mini-series on English gardens, Roger and his guest Peter bring their account of English gardening history to the modern day. Apart from learning about new interesting gardens, \"gardeners\" and concepts, three important societies are presented, that care for public gardens in the United Kingdom. In other words: three starting points for finding gardens to visit on your trip to Britain. Gertrude Jekyll An article about the influential \"arts & crafts\" garden designer. Find a garden The homepage allowing to search for gardens organised under the National Garden Scheme, NGS. RHS Chelsea Flower Show The Royal Horticultural Society\'s website about the annual Chelsea Flower Show. NationalTrust.org The homepage of the British National Trust.

And we\'re back with more insights on English gardens. Roger and his guest Peter (again not our host of the same name), continue looking at what makes a park and garden typically English. This time they talk about the later elements of the typical English landscape garden, leading to the reintroduction of formal elements in the Victorian age. William Hogarth: \"The family of George II The description of this painting (showing a royal garden scence) references the quote Roger mentions: \"the appearance of beautiful nature\" from a letter from the same period. The text also mentions some influential gardens, and some statements about this - back then - \"new\" style of gardens. Stourhead The web presence of one of the big gardens mentioned in this episode Kew Gardens The second garden that is referenced in the course of this episode The Lost Gardens of Heligan Heligan is the Cornish word for \'willow\' and this is the third influential garden mentioned.
