    Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited

    I've been to Hever a few times I used to live in Kent before moving to France, but I've been more recently too. It's expensive but I'm an RHS member for visiting the gardens.

    Field woodruff in my lawn

    Is it not killed by normal weed and feed products? But I would agree in making the lawn less susceptible by improving the conditions for the grass over the weeds.
