‘I love colour, and rejoice in it’ - Vita Sackville-West

Led by one of our expert gardeners, this exclusive tour explores the colour design of Sissinghurst Castle Garden. 

From the fiery flowers in the Cottage Garden to the peaceful 'grey, green and white' of the White Garden, Sissinghurst is a testament to the creativity and experimentation of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson.  
 
Learn top tips for planting and maintaining colour in your own garden alongside behind-the-scenes insight into how our current gardening team continue to care for each area.
 
Take advantage of visiting the garden at its peak for a quieter, private experience, with the tour extending after-hours.  

Tickets are £20 and include entrance to the garden. Car parking charges still apply.

Please note:

• Please sign in at Visitor Reception and meet outside the entrance to the garden.
• Please wear weather-appropriate clothing, as the tour will still go ahead in case of rain.
• Much of the garden is accessible via level path, but please note some passages are very narrow.
• Young people welcome.
