Compton Acres

Compton Acres is a privately-owned ten-acre garden in Poole. Thomas William Simpson, an entrepeneur who made his money selling margarine, bought the property in 1920 as a second home. Simpson, a keen horticulturalist, dreamed of creating a garden that would tell the story of his travels around the world.
To this end he appointed a Mr Middleton as head gardener and spent the equivalent of ten million pounds establishing seven distinct gardens and numerous herbaceous borders. Simpson constructed a palm court, a wooded valley, rock and water gardens, a heather garden, a garden of memory, an Italian garden and a Japanese garden, reputed to be the only completely authentic Japanese garden in the whole of Europe. An audio tour giving more details of the history of Compton Acres since 1921 is available.
The Italian villa, in the grounds of the Italian garden, is a popular wedding venue and can also be hired out for conferences.

Kesington palace

Kensington Palace is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England. It has been a residence of the British Royal Family since the 17th century. Today it is the official residence of The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. Kensington Palace is also used on an unofficial basis by Prince Harry, as well as his cousin Zara Phillips.

It was the official residence of Diana, Princess of Wales (until her death in 1997), Princess Margaret (until her death in 2002) and Princess Alice (until her death in 2004).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge use Kensington Palace as their official London residence[1].

Today, the State Rooms are open to the public and managed by the independent charity Historic Royal Palaces; a nonprofit organisation that does not receive public funds.[2] The offices and private accommodation areas of the Palace remain the responsibility of the Royal Household and are maintained by the Royal Household Property Section.
