Sussex Prairie Garden is one of only a handful of large, new gardens, designed and created in the 20th and 21st century, in Great Britain. It is Britain’s largest “prairie,” or “naturalistic,” garden, with eight acres to roam around. (Unfortunately as part of an organised group, RHS members do not get free entry to Sussex Prairie Garden)
Sheffield Park and Garden is a horticultural work of art formed through centuries of landscape design, with influences of ‘Capability’ Brown and Humphry Repton. Four lakes form the heart of the garden, with paths circulating through the glades and wooded areas surrounding them. Each owner has left their impression, which can still be seen today in the layout of the lakes, the construction of Pulham Falls, the planting of Palm Walk and the many different tree and shrub species from around the world.
