DAYSOUT
A great day out:
Open Gardens in Kent
March, April and May gardens
140 gardens across Kent will open to the public in 2016, from grand estates to tiny
jewel-like town gardens. Some of these secret gardens, many of them private,
open for just one or two afternoons each year. It is easy to find which ones are
open: pick up the free Kent Open Gardens booklet, available at local libraries, the
tourist offices and garden centres; or you can download the app from ngs.org.uk
or log on to the NGS website’s Garden Finder, ngs.org.uk, and search for a garden
near you. Open gardens make for a great day out, and most open gardens have
delicious homemade cakes and teas on sale too.
