Gorgeous gardens to visit on the Isle of Wight - Telegraph:

"Are you basking in the sunshine forecasted for this weekend or have you given up waiting for spring? If you don’t want to travel far for some sun, sea and garden visiting, then hop across The Solent to the Isle of Wight. This small island, just 23 miles long by 13 miles wide, has a rich concentration of delightful gardens. Gently washed by the last gasp of the Gulf Stream, it has a longer, warmer growing season than the mainland. Spring comes early and late summer reaches deeply into autumn, extending the season significantly and enabling islanders to grow a more exotic and eclectic range of plants than most of us in mainland Britain."
