Visit Restoration House

Nestled in the heart of Rochester, this enchanting historic walled garden boasts stunning formal and herbaceous features, including one of the finest surviving box parterres. Marvel at the exceptional yew topiary, a dedicated cutting garden, lush herbaceous borders, exotic greenhouses, and potting sheds, as well as the remarkable restoration of a grand 17th-century Italian Renaissance water garden.

Privately owned and meticulously maintained, with exquisite brickwork, pathways, and statues, this garden exudes immense charm and ambition, remaining one of Kent’s best-kept secrets.

Your visit will raise vital funds to support the work of the Red Cross.

Your visit helps people in crisis

The Red Cross helps people in the UK and across the world get the support they need in an emergency. With Open Gardens, you'll be raising funds for this important work.
