Join Heart of Kent Hospice and the gardening team at Blooming Green for an exclusive pre-season fundraising event at this amazing hidden gem located at Loddington Farm in Maidstone.
The day offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of a field full of flowers before it opens to the public for the 2025 picking season!
Help support the hospice by booking your place on 14 June 2025 to learn about the unique world of eco-flower farming while admiring the sea of beautiful seasonal flowers.
Enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of something nice as you wander around the field at your leisure admiring the stunning array of seasonal blooms.
Don’t miss the opportunity to book onto one of the popular tours to learn about sustainable floriculture from the Blooming Green team, before choosing and picking a few blossoms to take home. Each tour will last approximately thirty minutes.
Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, with the opportunity to pick their flowers in a glass jar too!
This event is the perfect chance to see a unique side of local flower farming while supporting your local hospice. Tours are strictly limited, book online to avoid disappointment. https://www.hokh.org/event/open-spaces-blooming-green/
As well as event tickets, 20% of proceeds from all Pick Your Own (PYO) flower bouquets purchased during this event will go to Heart of Kent Hospice which provides free, compassionate, end-of-life care to people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge and Malling and the surrounding towns and villages.
About the venue
Blooming Green was founded in 2007 by cousins Bek & Jen and has since grown into a happy team of staff and volunteers who, together, form the unique business that exists today.
Established on an acre of ground, that was once a Bramley apple orchard, the company now grows flowers and foliage on various sites — although the original flower plot at Loddington Farm is still at the heart of the business.
Chemical-free, no-dig and what many people call their ‘happy place’… our flower plot is somewhere we love to share with our customers.
Location: Blooming Green, Loddington Farm, Loddington Lane, Linton Maidstone, Kent ME17 4AG

—————–
Heart of Kent Hospice has been providing free, compassionate, end-of-life care to people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge and Malling and the surrounding towns and villages for the past 34 years.
The hospice has built an excellent reputation within the local community for the quality of its care, which has been further endorsed by the Care Quality Commission who awarded us with an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ following an inspection in February 2017.
Our vision is for everyone living with a terminal illness in our community to achieve the best quality of life. We are committed to achieving this by enabling them to live in comfort, with independence and dignity to the end of their lives, and to support those closest to them.
Last year the hospice cared for over 2,000 patients and their families in their own homes or at our Aylesford-based hospice. Our charity needs to raise £6.6 million to deliver all the hospices services, and we depend heavily on our loyal community of supporters, whose generous donations and fundraising activities raise money for us every year.
