York Gate is a small (1 acre) garden which I would go out of my
way to see in England.  The herb garden has been pictured in
many books on garden design.  It features
marvelous golden box globes and spiral box
topiaries.  The garden also has many special
borders, a lime walk, a woodland dell, and marvelous stone
work.  The Shell Guide to Gardens in England and Wales
says that York Gate bears comparison to Sissinghurst and Hidcote (!)

York Gate is in Leeds, privately owned, and is open only
a few days each year.  Check ahead before planning a trip.

All those traveling abroad--write and let us know about
your experiences!
