Great Comp Garden

Great Comp Garden is a Georgian farmhouse and garden, located on Comp Lane near the hamlet of Comp in the civil parishes of Platt and Offham, in the Tonbridge and Malling district of Kent, England. It was initially developed by Roderick and Joyce Cameron from the 1950s onwards, and features an Italian garden. It opened to the public in 1968, and now holds regular garden festivals and outdoor theatre productions.
