December 2020 the Netflix romantic period television series Bridgerton premiered. It’s been the talk of the town in a time where Netflix and chill has been the ultimate escape. The scandalous story line from none other than Shondaland based on the novels by Julia Quinn. The series has been hailed for its steamy sex scenes, topics of class, status, gender, sexuality. Praised for its blend of contemporary and classical music, racial diversity, and narration by the talented Julie Andrews. While all of these points are valid, I was surprised no one was speaking about the amazing landscaping. The pure botanical eye candy. When the series ended my immediate Google, search was “Where is Bridgerton filmed?” My search took me to the amazing city of Bath and London in the United Kingdom. The exterior scenes are pure gardening eye candy- the rambling walls of wisteria outside of the Bridgerton family home. Lollipop topiaries, pristinely trimmed boxwood hedges, heritage roses, and finely manicured lawns. I don’t know what is the bigger symbol of period wealth, the lavish costumes, and jewels, or the beautiful grounds. Certainly, I would prefer tending to my roses than attending fancy dinner parties; but, that’s just me. Thank goodness we have Lady Whistledown to catch up on evening events and all the scandals. Here’s hoping to a second season with many more beautiful sets.
