March 23 Spring Spectacular Hole Park Gardens, Rolvenden
The gardens will be open daily between 11am and 6pm until May 31, Hole Park has been in the Barham family for the past four generations. The gardens manage to combine formalised gardens with natural woodland. They cover some 15 acres and were developed, laid out and planted by Colonel Barham, the great-grandfather of the present owner. After the beauty of the daffodils, camellias, magnolias and early flowering spring bulbs, nature puts on a truly magical show when the woodlands are carpeted in a sea of bluebells in May.
