Report by ITV News Meridian's Tony Green


We've all got one eye on the calendar to count down the day to when lockdown restrictions will lift and in case you didn't notice spring is on its way!

The team at Great Comp Garden outside Sevenoaks are preparing to reopen on Monday (01/03) for locals and already there's plenty to see.

Great Comp Garden outside Sevenoaks was covered in snow two weeks ago. Now its covered in snowdrops, snowflakes and hellebores all tended by garden curator Will Dyson, who's spent the best part of three decades working here.

From Monday it will be open to locals and when lockdown rules allow, anybody can come here where there will be seven acres of spring colour waiting for them.
