Sissinghurst

Sissinghurst is renowned as a beautiful garden set within the ruins of an Elizabethan palace, but Adam Nicolson explores whether it truly reflects its creators' original vision. Through uncovering new historical insights, he delves into its past as a medieval manor and the garden crafted by his grandparents, Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson. Alongside this history, Nicolson seeks to revive the land as a working farm, with orchards, cattle, and sheep from his childhood, undertaking a heartfelt effort to reconnect with the landscape’s living heritage.
