An exclusive chance to see the private Japanese garden in the grounds of the Farncombe Estate which is home to the Dormy House Hotel, near Broadway, accompanied by its award winning designer Julian Dowle, are highlights of the hotel’s first ever residential garden tour to be held this autumn. The Japanese garden was designed by Julian Dowle for Mr Jørgen Philip-Sørensen who has owned the Dormy House Hotel and the Farncombe Estate for over thirty years. Julian was the first garden designer to win 3 gold medals at Chelsea Flower Show.
Guests will not only be shown around the garden by Julian himself but will also have the chance to hear expert tips on how to make a garden into a show garden in an after dinner formal talk. Being held over the course of 3 days from Wednesday 9th to Friday 11th September 2009, the residential tour at the 4 star hotel in the Cotswolds will also take in tours of local gardens including the privately owned Kiftsgate, Hidcote Manor, Sezincote and Sudeley Castle.
The £350 cost per person covers all formal meals, accommodation in luxury rooms and transport over the 3-day period from arrival at midday on the Wednesday to departure at 3.00pm on the Friday.
