These beautiful English gardens were designed by British landscape architect Jinny Blom (adorable, first read about her in Domino…) at the Temple Guiting Manor in Cotswold.  The house itself can be rented for special events and getaways—I say we have a girls’ weekend with lots of picnics filled with bubbly and croquet on the lawn, who’s with me?

    Kate, I’m so there with you. I’ll bring some delicious baked goods that I make: some little cookies, cake, cupcakes, fruit. English gardens are so amazing and well cared for. I would love to rent a house there for some time.
