With
any garden photo shoot, find out as much as you can about it before you
go: ask if you can be let in ahead of the crowds for some undisturbed
imaging; get an idea what the main features are; and check which
flowers, trees and shrubs will be at their seasonal peak when you plan
to visit. The excellent Great British Gardens website
(http://greatbritishgardens.co.uk) includes reviews of hundreds of
gardens.
