Gardener's Tour

Situated at the heart of the Garden of England and more specifically the Weald of Kent are some very famous gardens such as Sissinghurst Castle, Great Comp and Bedgebury's National Pinetum and Forest but there are so many truly fabulous gardens explore, full of national collections, wonderful landscaping and unusual plants. 

No matter what time of year you choose there is always something special to see or experience.

Beech Court Gardens with its 10 acres set around a 14th century farmhouse, full of Rhododendrons, azaleas and climbing roses, Pashley Manor Gardens with it romantic fountains and sculptures or Hole Park with its topiary and its amazing display of spring colour.

The beautiful castles and historic houses in Kent have some truly spectacular gardens to enjoy, places such as Scotney Castle, Leeds Castle, Penshurst Place, Marle Place, Finchcocks, Groombridge Place, Hever Castle, Chart Edge and Emmets all are a delight to discover. 

Some of the smaller gardens are lovely to explore including Iden Croft Herb Gardens - these beautiful aromatic herb gardens are home to the national mint, origanum and nepeta collections or alternatively Stoneacre at Otham, part of the National Trust with its 15th century Yeomans house whose romantic cottage garden houses a large collection of unusual plants and is featured in many gardening magazines. And why not end your day with a visit to Notcutts Garden Centre, renowned for its incredible range of high quality plants and services.
