Knowledge Exchange events are about showcasing projects, sharing knowledge and sparking connections. Join us at the beautiful Turner Contemporary in Margate for this Garden Communities Showcase. It’s a chance to learn about the latest developments at Ebbsfleet Garden City, Otterpool Park (Folkestone) and Heathlands Garden Community (Maidstone) + Ashford Garden Village Projects, and connect with the key players in the county.   

New garden communities are earmarked to accommodate tens of thousands of new homes in Kent over the coming years, representing an exciting opportunity to create liveable, sustainable and beautiful new places. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what’s happening in the county and connect with other professionals in the planning, design and development sectors.
