Niet zomaar iedereen wordt uitgenodigd door de beroemde Garden van Sissinghurst Castle, echt Brits erfgoed.
Hoofdtuin van De Tuinen van Hoegaarden, Geert, alias Jerome, wél. Een hele eer. Hij zal zich verder bekwamen in het 'afleggen' van hagen, een specialiteit van Sissinghurst.

Sissinghurst is more than a garden. It is a garden in the ruin of an Elizabethan house, set in the middle of its own woods, streams and farmland and with long views on all sides across the fields and meadows of the Kentish landscape. When Harold Nicolson, the writer and diplomat, and Vita Sackville-West, poet, novelist and gardener, first came here in 1930, Sissinghurst was dripping in its own inheritance; it had been a medieval manor house and was visited by Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century before falling into ruins and being mistreated for nearly 300 years.
