Hever in Bloom

A WEEK celebrating the award-winning gardens at Hever Castle runs from June 23 to June 29. Hever in Bloom showcases the gardens at the height of their summer beauty, with one of the finest displays in Kent, the Garden of England.

Join the gardeners for free daily tours to find out about garden’s history. The gardening team will be on hand throughout the week to answer questions from visitors, who will be able to meet the castle’s florist and attend her daily floral arrangement workshops. Expect some professional tips and tricks of the trade to try in your own home.

Not to be missed are nostalgic displays of poppies in several bays along the Pompeiian Wall in The Italian Gardens and around the grounds to commemorate the centenary of World War One.

Hever Castle’s gardens were laid out between 1904 and 1908 by Joseph Cheal and Son to display William Waldorf Astor’s unique collection of Greek and Roman statuary collected while he was the US ambassador in Rome.
