Near Sittingbourne
Sunday 10th September 2006 : 2pm - 5pm
Admission £4.00 HPS Members £3.50 (on production of a membership card)
The final Kent Group Plant Sale of the season and a last chance to buy from the wide range of plants, some difficult to find elsewhere, which are provided by our invited nurseries and private growers. An opportunity to look for that special plant to get established in the cooler and moister Autmn conditions.
The Venue
Set around the Victorian mansion, Doddington Place's ten acre landscaped gardens offer wide views of the surrounding countryside. Features include impressive clipped yew hedges, a woodland garden with azaleas and rhododendrons, an avenue of Wellingtonia, a sunken garden with herbaceous borders, a spring garden, pond walk, an Edwardian rock garden and a recently constructed brick and flint gothic folly.
Tea room and shop at the entrance to the gardens.
