Great Comp Garden Kent - Gardens to visit in Kent

Description

Great Comp Garden is the creation of Eric Cameron - and his late wife Joy. They moved to Great Comp some 40 years ago; from a house with a small garden, in Clapham.

To give you a taste of what is to be found, there are at least 70 Magnolias in 30 or so varieties, including a magnificent Magnolia veitchii which towers some 50' over surrounding plants. It often has in excess of 2000 blooms and is probably one of the best specimens in the country.

The garden covers 7 acres in total, with paths leading through woodland settings, passing superb ornaments, then opening onto spacious lawns; formal areas; through an Italian Garden - where some of the less hardy plants find shelter in the walled setting, and on through various other planting schemes. These include a herbaceous border, heather beds and informal mixtures.
