Home, Garden & Lifestyle by Tara de la Motte

Beautiful homes, gardens and the best of Britain.

I'm Tara de la Motte, a stylist, writer and presenter. Having edited the homes, gardens and culinary pages of lifestyle publications, I share here what I know best: how to bring a room to life, how to keep a garden beautiful through every season, and how to entertain with simple, elegant food.

Alongside my articles and monthly garden letters is the Garden & Home Directory: carefully chosen gardens to visit, garden centres, antique and interior shops, paint and kitchen showrooms, curtain makers and homeware across every region of Britain, together with the season's garden shows and events, picturesque villages, beauty spots and wildlife days out.

Whether you are planning a day out, searching for a special antique or refreshing a room, every recommendation has been chosen with care, so you can explore with confidence.
