About Cupani Garden

A compact garden but one to linger in; a tranquil garden that offers the visitor a series of gardens to wander through, from a formal courtyard garden through perennial herbaceous borders, a fernery, and much more. Trees, shrubs, climbing plants, and sweet pea obelisks frame the garden and the gentle sound of water from the sculpted water features adds to the peace and harmony. Plenty of seating throughout the garden. (some under cover) Featured in Sussex Life (2014); and in Amateur Gardening (2011); praised by the Galloping Gardener for ‘plant wizardry’ and 2010 winner of the Seaford in Bloom Plantsman of the Year award for inspirational planting. This visit will provide a real treat for everyone. The garden has flat paths throughout but has two steps down to the courtyard and a steep step to the W.C. (regrettably not wheelchair accessible). There will be a large range of plants, home-made jam, for sale all profits to charity. Popular Bee Pots for sale , made by local potter Amanda Haines. Children welcome Well behaved small dogs on a lead also welcome. This garden provides great afternoon tea & lunches on private visits and must booked in advance. Note no teas on Seaford Trail days. These are provided elsewhere. Visitors are asked to park in surrounding streets (free parking) as Sandgate Close is a cul de sac. Access to a WC
