Bates Green Garden

We hope this garden will re-open in the future. Please keep checking this page for more details.

This plantswoman’s two-acre tranquil garden provides interest throughout the seasons, with distinct areas that enable plants from different ecological conditions to thrive, including a small pond to encourage wildlife.

Autumn tones are displayed in abundance by the mature trees and shrubs within and bordering the garden.
A woodland garden, created around a majestic oak tree underplanted with a mass of Cyclamen hederifolium, provides a tapestry of foliage in a cool, calm space.

The Middle Garden peaks in late summer with swaying grasses, bright dahlias and pollinator friendly asters; while pergolas provide shady seating areas, surrounded by climbers.

Courtyard gardens contain seasonal container displays and borders, filled with treasures to delight plant lovers.

Bates Green Garden is a tranquil setting, surrounded by grazed pastures with stunning views of the South Downs.

The six-acre conservation meadow adjoining the garden contains a wealth of flora and fauna, featuring managed mown paths and seating for visitors.
