About Kilver Court Gardens

Visitors can wander by the millpond, exploring the formal and informal Gardens and enjoy, on the north side of the gardens, a replica of the splendid Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal winning rockery where a gushing recirculated stream flows from pool to pool over a variety of rocky outcrops and waterfalls into the lake. All this is set against the stunning backdrop of the Charlton Viaduct and the 100m herbaceous border beyond, a stunning example of planting using the colourist theory – but with an interesting twist – the foliage is the predominant feature in the scheme rather than the bloom!
