Parrock Road, tenderly nurtured

Although 58A Parrock Road in Gravesend, Kent usually opens as part of a group of gardens this lovely suburban plot can easily stand alone. Owner Barry Bowen has been tenderly nurturing this 120 foot x 40 foot garden for the last 57 years. Join us now for a visit to this much-loved garden:

A closer look

Don’t be fooled by its size, this beautiful and well established town garden is full of wonderful planting from mature trees to a luscious collection of hostas and tiny succulents, there’s a peaceful stream, pond and water features. A meandering path leads you through the garden past restful water to shady seating areas while the top terrace is filled with exotic plants and colourful annuals in baskets and containers. Even the front garden is verdant with planting – what was once a lawn has been transformed.
