			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I discovered my inner Anglophile shortly after college while studying garden design and history at the University of Manchester. England felt like a home away from home for me and I don&#8217;t think there was a more ideal place in the world for me to hone my landscape design skills.</p>
<p>I recently returned to England on a tour of houses and gardens. While I started in Cheshire for a stay with my friends at Arley Hall, the majority of my visits were made in Norfolk and Suffolk. There was so much to take in and discover. I certainly came home with more than enough material to share with you on my blog. Over the next few months I&#8217;ll post a series of installments about my trip. This first one gives the 30,000 foot view.</p>
