Get stuck into the outdoors at Emmetts Garden. We've got our family ant trail on all summer and even an outdoor production of Wind in the Willows for you to enjoy. Go wild in our play area, play dress up in our tepee and see how many items you can tick off your 50 things to do before you're 11 3/4 list. Have you found a geocache yet?

Enjoy breath taking views over the Weald of Kent on a walk around Emmetts Garden this summer. Take in the colourful blooms as you meander through the gardens and into the woodland, which connects to nearby Toys Hill and Chartwell.

Share a stroll around Emmetts Garden with your dog. Allowed in all corners of the estate, there’s no better place for them to spend a day.

Enjoy freshly baked scones in our Old Stables Café, or warm yourself up with some soup. The café is just perfect for picking up a light refreshment after a walk around the estate.

A visit to the National Trust is not complete without popping into the shop. We've got a variety of gifts and souvenirs for you to enjoy, and you can even purchase some of the plant varieties you saw around the gardens.

It's no mean feat looking after Emmetts Garden - mixing conservation skills with practical experience to ensure the nineteenth century gardens are looking their best. A year after joining the team, we speak to head gardener Matthew Scott about his work and experience with the National Trust.
