"The garden at Sissinghurst Castle in the Weald of Kent, in England was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. Sackville-West was a writer on the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group who found her greatest popularity in the weekly columns she contributed as gardening correspondent of The Observer, which incidentally—for she never touted it—made her own garden famous A manor house with a three-armed moat was built here in the Middle Ages. In 1305, King Edward I spent a night here."
