I know it FEELS too early to start thinking about summer gardens, but if you're considering a trip overseas, it's time to book those tickets! This week's Site of the Week is Great British Gardens. GBG has mapped all the gardens in the UK by region - just select your destination and find one nearby. Guides include best times of the year to view each garden, admissions costs/schedules, photos, and recommended places to stay in the area. It's an all-in-one stop for finding your favorite patch of earth.

Great finds include Gertrude Jekyll's garden at The Manor House, Upton Gray (above), and Brodie Castle, Scotland (below). Can you imagine tip-toeing through those daffodils?

And if you're NOT traveling to the jewel of the North Atlantic anytime soon, grab a little inspiration for your own garden. The site also includes numerous photos and a garden lover's bookshop. Below, a marvelous little book on Jekyll's Manor House garden. Dare to dream!
