Jason Goodwin and Simon Tiffin set up G&T Garden Tours to share our enthusiasm for the
gardens and landscapes of Dorset and Somerset.

Sue Gilkes perhaps best describes our approach in an article she wrote for House & Garden.

Dedicated to introducing guests to the stunning landscapes, fabulous food and produce of this historic and beautiful region of England, we are offering two unique English garden tours in 2024 and 2025.

In May and June, with groups limited to 12 people, we will escort our guests on unforgettable visits to the grounds of grand houses, and some of the most spectacular private gardens in England’s West Country.

G&T provides exclusive access to gardens that are not usually open the public. G&T also hosts incredible guest speakers, such as photographer Howard Sooley, on how to get the most from your garden photography, and cider enthusiast, James Crowden, on orchards.

Based in a historic manor house on the Jurassic Coast, guests will enjoy splendid accommodation, excellent food – and an unforgettable horticultural experience.

The tour exceeded my expectations. The camaraderie, the food, the joie de vivre, the inside knowledge and, of course, THE GARDENS are just some of the highlights of the joyful, informative and indulgent week we spent with Simon and Jason. Kudos to G&T!

Of course the gardens were amazing but as with all things it’s the people that take a tour and turn it into an incomparable experience. Jason and Simon are the most wonderful of hosts, warm, deeply knowledgeable, massively proud of West Dorset and very funny. Their group of friends who joined us along the way were amazing. I felt like I’d been invited into this close knit group of friends and was treated like I was one of them. The wisdom of them all will stay with me forever.

The lure of the garden is dreamlike, primarily about things just beyond our grasp.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

Whenever I arrive in my garden, I Make The Tour. Is this a personal idiosyncrasy, or do all good gardeners do it?
