Sissinghurst Castle Garden is the twentieth century creation of two English aristocrats, Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West. The garden is made in the ruins of a large Elizabethan house set in unspoilt Wealden countryside. Harold was a classicist, who liked formality and clean lines, and Vita, a romantic, who favoured profusion and surprise. It is the combination of these two apparent opposites which has made the garden such a major influence on late 20th and early 21st century garden design.
