Riverhill Himalayan Gardens have been in the Rogers family for generations. John Rogers was a great botanist; one of the founding members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a friend of Charles Darwin. His passion for the newly discovered rhododendrons and azaleas from the East, led him to choose to purchase Riverhill; the views across the Weald of Kent were fabulous and the lime-free soil and sheltered hillside was perfect for newly introduced trees and shrubs.

There are now over 12 acres of historic gardens to explore, punctuated with contemporary sculpture, as well as woodland paths, breathtaking views and plenty of benches for quiet contemplative moments.

Expect the unexpected as you wander from the manicured perfection of the undulating terraces of the famous Walled Garden, with frothy fountains, to the wild Jungle, fragrant Rose Walk, Wood Garden and spectacular Edwardian Rock Garden, carpeted with ferns.
