Fenton Gardens boss Joshua Fenton says the not-for-profit does incredibly important work and was inspired while at their Coldharbour Road home.

The bespoke greenspace, to be called Luatica, will be built around the theme of moonlight and water with a sustainable approach.

The Gravesend resident added: “Even if a garden might not completely distract you from what’s going on in your personal life, it does provide a very immersive experience.

“Gardens have the ability to soothe, to calm; to give us respite from stress.”
