Gardening & Nature
Maidstone
A friendly group of alpine and rock garden enthusiasts who have met near Maidstone since 1977. Monthly afternoons alternate between illustrated talks, garden visits and a local plant show.
This group is run independently by its organisers, not by InKent. Times, venues and prices can change, so get in touch with the group before your first visit. If the group involves children, ask the organiser about safeguarding.
