Join us at some of England’s loveliest gardens, for the perfect country house week.  

A passion for gardens

Jason Goodwin and Simon Tiffin founded G&T Garden Tours as a horticultural and gastronomic extravaganza, designed to share their passion for the breathtaking gardens and landscapes of Dorset and Somerset.

Our English country garden tours are uniquely curated to showcase the stunning landscapes, exceptional cuisine, and rich heritage of this historic and beautiful region of England.

Exclusive tours in May and June

For 2026, G&T Garden Tours offers four exclusive English garden tours staying in a historic country house, our comfortable home base for the week. Prices start at £4350pp. These small-group experiences, limited to around 14 guests, provide a rare opportunity to explore private gardens and the grand estates of England’s West Country and the Cotswolds.

Gastronomical!

Guests rave about the truly delicious dinners prepared by our in-house chefs (with scrumptious cake for tea, too). Lunches will be at our favourite local restaurants, all included.

Private Garden Access

G&T provides access to gardens normally closed to the public and meetings with exceptional guest speakers such as Howard Sooley, sharing expert tips on garden photography, or cider expert James Crowden, talking about old orchards.

Fuss free

You won’t need to worry about packing, unpacking, or long travel times. From our gorgeous home base we make daily excursions, over short distances, for a seamless, relaxed itinerary.

For a detailed look back at a previous May tour, check out Sophy Roberts’s piece for the Financial Times, “Inside the Secret Gardens of Dorset.”

This is more than just a garden tour—it’s an immersive journey into England’s horticultural heartlands, where luxury, history, and natural beauty converge. As described by Sue Gilkes in House & Garden: “Is this the ultimate holiday for garden lovers?”
