One of Kent Wildlife Trust's most popular open gardens, this is a three-acre wildlife oasis in the making, tucked away on the outskirts of Faversham.
Back by popular demand - we will be returning to Langdon Court, home of Sally Edge and her family, for a late spring open garden event, as part of Kent Wildlife Trust's Wild About Gardens programme. Langdon is a large garden surrounding a Victorian farmhouse. It has lots of different areas, many of them newly landscaped and planted in the last few years, all surrounded by hedges, scrub and mature trees full of birdlife.
A highlight is the very large fish pond which attracts birds, bats, dragonflies and damselflies. There are many newly planted native trees and a wildflower meadow area – all chosen to maximise wildlife visitors. A walled garden where they grow organic food in ‘no dig’ beds, and formal and cottage garden flower beds that blend beauty with wildlife benefits. Plenty of love for the soil too - dead wood piles teeming with life, compost being made, and woodchip paths weaving through wooded and wild spaces.
There will be lots to see and do throughout the day, including: Kent Wildlife Trust's 'Wild About Gardens' team on-hand to give advice and tips on wildlife-friendly gardening. Specialists on-hand to give advice on garden wildlife, such as hedgehogs, bats, bees and other pollinators, birds, butterflies and moths, the soil ecosystem and more! A varied programme of talks and mini garden tours. Activities for children. Hot and cold drinks and homemade cakes for sale. Plants for sale. Workshops, tours and activities.
