Godinton House, Kent

​The architect Sir Reginald Blomfield designed the gardens at Godinton House around 1900 in an Italianate manner to complement the Jacobean style of the house. As well as a formal Italian garden, rose garden, ponds and lawns for tennis and croquet, there is a large kitchen garden, many herbaceous borders and beds, and a wild garden thronged with old varieties of daffodils. As Assistant Head Gardener I made sure that practical garden maintenance tasks were carried out properly on a day to day basis and I thoroughly enjoyed working in a garden that is certainly one of Kent’s hidden gems.
