Reuthe's

Reuthe's are the Lost Gardens of Sevenoaks, an acclaimed plant nursery founded in 1902, set in 11 acres of ancient woodland, part of the horticultural miracle that is the Green Sand Ridge in the Weald of Kent. Reuthe's welcomes visitors to explore the woodland, jungle-like pathways and walks up through the Hidden Valley. Here they will find over 300 varieties of rhododendrons and other rare trees, shrubs, azaleas and camellias. At Base Camp café there is a daily changing menu of grilled and chilled sandwiches, warm baked sausage rolls, crumpets, seasonal soups and salads. There is Monmouth Coffee alongside cakes and bakes. Everything is handmade using local ingredients, including many grown on site in the vegetable potager, such as salads and herbs. The family friendly site is fantastic to go exploring with children and well-behaved dogs. Entrance is free. [Image: https://www.visitkent.co.uk/media/20402/vegetable-garden.jpg]
