My visit at Sissinghurst Castle Garden

I have just been in England on the most amazing tour. First to The Chelsea Flower Show and then to great gardens in Kent and Sussex.

In this video I'm talking about my visit at Sissinghurst Castle Garden in the Weald of Kent. This is one of the greatest gardens I know, and I have followed the garden the last 25 years.

This amazing place is designed by Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962), poet and writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson (1886-1968), author and diplomat. It is among the most famous gardens in the world and is designated Grade I on Historic England's register of historic parks and gardens.

I was so lucky to see roses, irises, foxgloves and paeonies in flower at the same time. I was just amazing, and I think and hope, that you will enjoy.


My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.
