Susie and her husband Ian inherited Coton Manor following the sudden death of Ian’s mother in 1990, who had been an expert gardener. Initially neither Susie or Ian would consider themselves gardeners, but both accepted the challenge, and Coton Manor continues to thrive.
The garden has been modernised and the borders are famous for Susie’s style of planting where colour and style compliment each other.
As well as the gardens, Coton Manor also offer lunches and a series of one day lectures to inspire other gardeners to develop their own expertise.

When Joe become Head Gardener at Burghley House he inherited a garden that had not been actively cared for a number of years. This can be a problem as structures deteriorate, but it is also a challenge to renew, rethink and redevelop.
Joe and his team are rediscovering lost themes, some originally designed by Lancelot “Capability” Brown, but also creating new and pleasing new features, such as the pathway to Swallows Rill, now planted with alpines.
Joe is also recreating the walled garden. This is a major piece of work and will take a number of years to complete.
