Charity Open Garden: 10th – 14th June 2021

Now Covid restrictions have been eased, the organisers of Lindfield Open Gardens are delighted to announce the garden at 47 Denmans Lane will be open for charity under the National Garden Scheme between 10th and 14th June.

This beautiful and tranquil one acre garden in the heart of Lindfield was described by Sussex Life as a ‘a garden where plants star’. Created by the owners Sue & Jim Stockwell, it is planted for interest throughout the year.

Spring bulbs are followed by azaleas, rhododendrons, roses and herbaceous perennials. The garden also has ponds, greenhouses and fruit gardens.

The adult ticket price of £8 (children under 16 free) includes entry to the garden plus refreshments with delicious homemade cake. There will also be lots of plants on sale in aid of St Peter & St James Hospice. Ticket numbers for each session are limited and advance booking is advised to avoid disappointment – please book via the NGS website https://ngs.org.uk/view-garden/34430

The organisers are still hoping to arrange a Garden Trail with many participating gardens around the village later in the year. If you would like to include your own garden or help with organisation, please contact Jim Stockwell to find out more (01444 459363 or jamesastockwell@aol.com).
