Sissinghurst is celebrated as a location of beauty, a garden slipped into the ruins of the Elizabethan palace. But is it completely what its creators supposed? Adam Nicolson has uncovered exceptional new findings about its history as a medieval manor and on to the creation, by his grandparents Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, of an garden in a weed-strewn wreck. Alongside his restoration of days gone by, Adam Nicolson wanted another thing: for the land at Sissinghurst to become the scenery of orchards, cattle and sheep he kept in mind from his boyhood. Could that living frame of a blended farm be brought back? Against the chances, he would try.
