PGG visit to Sussex Prairie Garden

Sussex Prairie Garden opened to the public in 2009, just one year after planting. It counts among a handful of new large gardens, designed and created in the 20th and 21st century in Great Britain.

It is Britain’s largest ‘Prairie’, or ‘Naturalistic’ garden, with eight stunning acres to roam around. Unlike most gardens of a comparable size, there is no castle or stately home! It was designed and planted by the garden owners themselves on the family’s farm in West Sussex. Instead of armies of servants and gardeners, all 35,000 plants were planted with the help of friends and family.

The garden encourages exploration using a network of small wood-chip paths which snake through the huge borders. Pauline and Paul invite you to visit and ‘please do walk on the grass and in the borders’.

Sussex Prairie Garden is an extraordinary garden created by ordinary people!
