It took some time for spring to arrive but now it's here that UK's gardens are enjoying it. Many flowers that would usually be over by now are still at their best. Here are some of the best gardens right now. Kew Gardens, London The rock garden is one of the places to head for at Kew right now. It will be at its peak in the days ahead. The garden has waterfalls and streams over the land, and many plants and flower buds are all at their best. Equally those who can not be missed are the flowering cherry   trees. Open daily 9:30 am-6:30 pm, adults PS16, children free. Wentworth Castle Gardens, near Barnsley A yellow carpet surrounds Wentworth Castle at the moment, as the daffodils   are still in full bloom. Another wonderful spot is the Victorian flower garden, created from an old bowling   green in the 19th century. Open daily 10:00 am- 5:00 pm, adults PS5.50, children PS2.95, family PS12.50. Harlow Carr, Harrogate The earlier bad weather means many daffodil varieties were extremely late, but at Harlow Car plenty of the plants can be found at the moment. The garden also has one of the longest streamside plantings in the country. Open daily 9:30 am-6:00 pm, adults PS8.50, children PS4.25, family PS20.70. Bon Stewart, Newtownards There are great smells as well as great sights at Bon Stewart: Lady Londonderry, who created the garden in the 1920s and 1930s, love plants with a sweet smell. So go up to rhododendron   hill. It's one of the best places here right now. Open daily 10:00 am-6:00 pm, adults PS6.63, children PS3.31, family PS16.00.
