Arts and Crafts gardens to visit
The Arts and Crafts movement influenced garden design, often using the idea of garden 'rooms' to bring the home outdoors. It was a reaction to the excesses of Victorian industrialisation, growing from a desire to revive traditional craftsmanship and restore simplicity and honesty to buildings and furnishings.

- Red House, London
