The Broadview Garden Centre complex is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. Located within the College grounds, just outside of Tonbridge, it includes ten acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, a retail Garden Centre, Kent Produce shop, Tearoom and in-house florist.
The Gardens were started in 1992 on a former sheep field as a resource for the growing number of horticulture students. The basic structure of the garden was planned by the College lecturers and contains areas for students to design and build smaller gardens. Each year students either build a new garden on an undeveloped area or regenerate an existing garden. Some of the recent projects include the renovation of Full Frontal (the 2007 Hampton Court medal winning garden), CAC03 (a 2006 medal winning garden) and the development of Food 4 Thought, the 2010 Gold medal winning garden.
