Emmetts Garden, Edwardian garden in Ide Hill, England
The six-acre garden includes numerous terraces descending down slopes, containing diverse plant collections and offering views across the Weald of Kent.
Frederick Lubbock purchased the property in 1890 and developed the gardens between 1893 and 1895, following the landscaping principles of William Robinson.
The garden's name derives from the local word for ant, referencing the large anthills that existed in the area until the 1950s.
The National Trust maintains the garden, providing visitor facilities, educational programs, and seasonal events throughout the year for public engagement.
A 100-foot Giant Sequoia stands as the garden's notable feature, having endured the severe Great Storm of 1987 that damaged many original plantings.
