The World
Garden
The
award-winning
World Garden at Lullingstone Castle in Eynsford, Kent, designed
by Adam S Bailey (left) for Tom Hart Dyke, is a prestigious project and set to become one of the major garden attractions of Kent.
With thousands of plants on a 3D
map of the world, the World Garden is adventurous horticulture....

The idea...
The original idea was the
dream of Tom Hart Dyke, plant hunter and author who was captured by
guerrillas in Panama in 2000 with his fellow back-packer Paul Winder,
whilst looking for orchids in the Darien Gap.
During his nine month
ordeal Tom aspired to create a
garden based on a map of
the world if he
ever made it out alive....Thankfully Tom survived
and in January 2004 approached Adam of Adam S Bailey Garden Design to ask him to help design the
layout of the grand scheme, complete with its raised continents and
thousands of plant species.

Adam's involvement
in the design of the garden was crucial to its success. The garden at
Lullingstone Castle is now into its third year and has been
under the watchful eyes of a TV crew who have been filming the
creation of the garden.
