From world-renowned horticulture to the vibrant metropolis of bustling cities, England always has something hidden up its sleeve.
Eclectic, beautiful and steeped in history, England is a country of breathtaking variety. There is perhaps nothing more quintessentially English than a blooming rose garden, filled with numerous roses and other floral varietals.
From world-renowned horticulture and regal castles nestled among rolling hills to the vibrant metropolis of bustling cities, England always has something hidden up its sleeve.
If you have never explored England’s many hidden gems, you are in for an enchanting treat.
Think dramatic coastlines, soft flowering meadows, mysterious woodland and miles of moorland stretching as far as the eye can see. When it comes to habitation, homes come in all shapes and sizes, from age-old cottages to dazzling tower blocks rising above city skylines.
In short, it is perhaps no secret that England is a melting pot of beauty, history and tradition. This extends to its horticulture and gardens– throughout history, they have been influenced by plant varietals brought back from far-flung parts of Britain’s Empire, which now form part of a traditional English garden.
The style of the English garden is a unique combination of well-known architectural and garden design styles, both English and international, culminating in world-renowned events such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
When it comes to culture, England has it in spades, from a thriving music industry to architecture, theatre, film, and entertainment.
With 10 national parks, 34 Areas of Outstanding National Beauty and around 2800 miles of coastline, spending time in the great outdoors is a huge part of English life. It also has plenty of fabulous iconic city parks, such as Hyde Park and Regents Park.
The temperate and oceanic climate generally means that English winters are not too cold, summers are not too warm, and rainfall occurs all year round. As a result, the natural flora and fauna thrive, and there is plenty of lush green foliage to admire. With the lack of extreme weather, outdoor spaces and beautiful gardens are popular places to relax, unwind and entertain among the flowers.
From clipped lawns and admirable topiary of stately home gardens to overspilling plant pots in small yards, England has no shortage of open space to meet with friends and take in the beauty of nature.
Summer garden parties are a popular way to entertain loved ones and dine al fresco surrounded by climbing wisteria, blossoming roses and the scent of damp freshly-cut grass.
Signature fragrances of England are inspired by regal beauty, elegant florals and open green spaces.
From the iconic English rose varietals to lily and lavender, flowers inspire classic English fragrances, along with the clean green scents of crisp herbs, mint and leafy vegetation. There can also be hints of the bright fresh fruit that grows abundantly in an English summer.
The CRANBOURN® English Garden Party™ fragrance is crafted with light floral notes, inspired by an English country garden on a heady summer evening. Presented in a unique minimalist glass vessel hand-finished by our master craftsmen, the luxury reed diffuser and scented candles are designed to bring simple timeless elegance, beauty and atmosphere to your own space.
