The beautiful Hole Park Gardens in Rolvenden, Kent are now open to visitors every Wednesday and Thursday until the end of October.
New this year and one of the highlights for the summer is the newly planted long herbaceous border which will take on a pink and blue theme, close to the original colours used by the late Christopher Lloyd when he first designed the border at Hole Park.
The late flowering agapanthus and exotic border with its cannas and dahlias are also at their best in the summer months. The garden has been planted for colour throughout the seasons and in summer visitors can look forward to the scented roses and colourful herbaceous borders. In late summer see the unique late flowering Hole Park Blue agapanthus and the exotic border with its vivid colours and exotic blooms.
