2 Wanderdown Way

A relatively new garden created almost from scratch five seasons ago. Adjacent to the South Downs National Park it is primarily a coastal chalk garden with wonderful downland views to the sea beyond. The planting reflects the location with an emphasis on colour and leaf form to create floral displays, which are showcased against a backdrop of subtropical plants and sculptural forms.

About 2 Wanderdown Way

Due to the growing conditions, climate and location, a limited range of flowering perennial and annual plants is used and repeated throughout the garden.

There is an emphasis on growing plants that are naturally resilient to pests and diseases in order to encourage and protect insects and wildlife. Wild flowers, including self-seeders, are encouraged and co-exist with cultivated flowers and shrubs, to create a habitat attractive to pollinators and birds.

The flower beds are planted using colour and leaf form to create interest and the plants chosen mean the garden is best seen during mid summer.
