2. Where to find out more about gardens with autumn colour
With so many gardens around Britain, there's bound to be something nearby. So where to find all this splendour?
We recommend that you dip into the guidebooks, or peruse the leaflets at tourist information centres and campsite offices, and talk to those with local knowledge. Then you can be guaranteed to find plenty of beautiful places to aim for during the autumn months.
Some answers will be in the garden visitors' bible, universally referred to as the Yellow Book - the directory of gardens open for charity (published every February).
There's a yellow book for England and Wales, and another for Scotland, listing gardens that are often private domestic ones open only a few times a year.
For those gardens always open to the public, try looking at the National Trust website, The Good Gardens Guide (full of information by independent inspectors), and the online guides that also have accommodation details (Great British Gardens and Information Britain
For national collections in the UK, look at those listed by The National Council for the Conservation of Plants.
