Glorious Gardens - The Forge, Chalk

7th June 2026

ellenor invites you to enjoy this beautiful private garden, generously opened by Deb and Lee to support ellenor.

Your visit helps raise vital funds to provide care for patients and their families.

The Forge has been a familiar landmark for Gravesenders for hundreds of years. It inspired Charles Dickens to write about it, as the blacksmith Joe Gargery's home in 'Great Expectations'. The original building dates back to the 17th century. The garden is a beautiful display of mature planting, lovely feature objects and a pond. 

Parking: City Praise Church on Lower Higham Road has kindly agreed visitors to use their car park. Parking also available on the main road.

No booking required - simply turn up and pay on the day.
