Overview
Lullingstone Castle is one of England’s oldest family estates, dating back to the time of Domesday. The present Manor House and Gatehouse were built in 1497 and have been home to the same family ever since. Close to the Manor House is St Botolph’s Parish Church of Norman origin, which contains some of the oldest stained glass windows in England. . Tom Hart Dyke is a modern day plant hunter who follows in the traditions of the plant hunters of old who risked life and limb in pursuit of fantastic blooms and plants. Tom’s World Garden pays homage to the amazing achievements of Victorian and Edwardian plant hunters who brought back the plants and flowers we now cherish and grow in our gardens in the UK. We begin with a sandwich lunch on arrival. Tea or Coffee is available to purchase. We then enjoy our tours of the house, church and garden before ending our afternoon with tea and cake
