Welcome to Broadview Gardens
The Broadview complex is a wonderful place to spend an
afternoon. Located within the College grounds, just outside of Tonbridge, it
includes ten acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, a retail Garden Centre,
Kent Produce shop, Tearoom and in-house florist.
The Gardens were started in 1992 on a former sheep field as
a resource for the growing number of horticulture students. The basic structure of the garden was planned
by the College lecturers and contains areas for students to design and build
smaller gardens. Each year students
either build a new garden on an undeveloped area or regenerate an existing
garden. Visitors in 2009 will be able to
see Full Frontal - the Hampton Court 2007 Gold Medal winning garden - and CACO3,
the Chalk Garden.
