In an interview with BBC Gardeners' World Magazine, Britain’s much-loved gardener and broadcaster, Monty Don, was asked which garden in the world he would most like to spend winter in.

His answer? “Babylonstoren in South Africa. It is an extraordinary garden that has a wonderful hotel and restaurant, so it would make a very appealing place to spend Christmas. It is near Cape Town and Stellenbosch, in the Southern Hemisphere, where Christmas falls in summer.”

We thought it the perfect time to look back on his visit to the farm in 2018 and celebrate our garden through his eyes. Perhaps Monty Don summed it up best: “I wouldn’t need to travel any further. A beautiful garden, good food and sunshine would be quite enough.”
