Guests are welcome to explore the garden at Millfields House with its wildlife pond now home to a small colony of Great Crested Newts.  Flowering trees and shrubs provide structure for a variety of spring flowers, bulbs, roses, herbaceous perennials, grasses and climbers offering colour and interest throughout the year.   

For the true garden lover the celebrated Sissinghurst, created by Vita Sackville-West is close by. Within easy reach is the beautiful garden at Pashley Manor. For wonderful bluebells, glorious azaleas, Japanese acers, and magnificent wisteria visit Hole Park at Rolvenden in Spring and early Summer. Delightful Marle Place, romantic Scotney Castle and the innovative and experimental garden at Great Dixter are also close by. Within an hour's drive is Sheffield Park, Nymans, Wakehurst Place (Kew's garden in the country), Groombridge Place, Emmetts and more.

If you love buying plants Great Dixter has a wonderful nursery and at Merriments, near Hawkhurst you can also buy good quality plants, visit their lovely 6 acre garden and enjoy an excellent light lunch or afternoon tea in their cafe.
