Details: PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF THIS GARDEN IS STILL OPEN BEFORE PLANNING ANY JOURNEY TO VIEW IT.
Yalding Organic Gardens nestle against a traditional Kentish backdrop of hop gardens and oast houses. There has been have created a unique combination of a tour through garden history and organic gardening techniques set against a backdrop of beautiful, mixed borders. They inspire reflection on mankind's experience of gardening over the centuries. There are a selection of Gardens to see including the Organic Vegetable Display Garden, the 1950s Allotment Garden, Apothecary's Garden and Medieval Garden.

The fourteen individual gardens are delightfully laid out within a landscape which blends pleasantly the mixture of formal and informal displays.

For example:
The Woodland Walk shows the natural cycles at the centre of all gardening and it was in places such as this that the first settlers in the British Isles first cultivated the land.
The Medieval Garden, with its verdant carpet, sparkling with flowers, was a place for Lords and Ladies to converse, make music and play games seated on the turf and chamomile benches.
Then there is the Cottager's Garden of the early nineteenth century.
The 1950s Allotment is typical of the time - though they don't use the synthetic chemical fertilisers and pesticides that became widespread then and most of which have long since been banned.
Youngsters are the gardeners of the future and so there is the Children's Garden, created to stimulate the senses and be fun.
