Impeccable Style at Appledore

Tucked away in a Kentish village, this rather wonderful garden is crammed with sophisticated decorative details. There’s much to admire, from the seakale in full flower in the vegetable garden, to the cleverly contained reeds in the pond and the pleached hornbeams. It opens just once a year, along with other village gardens, so despite it being cold enough for coat, gloves and scarf it was worth every freezing moment.
