About Camilla Anderson:

About

Based in Derbyshire, I am an independent researcher in Garden History. After graduating with an MA in GH from the University of Bristol, I developed a website listing hundreds of the finest gardens in the UK which includes a short history of each garden. I also give lectures on gardens and take the occasional garden tour. I am currently working on several topics including the life of Daisy, Countess of Warwick.

Additional Interests

I am passionate about Garden History and encourage everyone to get out there and enjoy our fabulous gardens. If I'm not hunkered down in the archives or getting up at dawn to photograph a garden, I can be found climbing the nearest hill - it's lucky I live in Derbyshire!
