The World Garden at Lullingstone Castle has an extraordinary story of creation. On a visit to Colombia in 2000, horticulturalist Tom Hart Dyke was taken hostage by a guerrilla group and held for nine months. Tom spent his terrifying captivity planning a ‘world garden’, which he created on his return. In this unique two-acre walled garden you’ll find thousands of plant species from across the globe, laid out to form a map of the world. Explore the continents in search of the many rare and unusual horticultural treasures. There are several hot houses too, including a cactus house with a diverse and fascinating array of cacti and succulents from North America. Beyond the walls, discover an orchid meadow, a large arboretum and a circular woodland walk. Before setting off, always check the garden’s website or call direct for up-to-date opening times and other ticket price options, and any one-off restrictions which may apply. Always take your 2-for-1 Gardens card with you. If you’ve pre-booked your tickets under the 2-for-1 Gardens offer, show your card on the day to validate the booking. Please don’t make multiple pre-bookings or share your 2-for-1 Gardens card – card misuse will invalidate your discount claim at the garden.Check before you travel
