About Langney & Willingdon Garden Trail
Two new gardens in Willingdon join two other gardens that have opened before to create a new garden trail. The gardens at 36 Jellicoe Close and 16 Hardy Drive are both developed on land reclaimed from the sea. 36 Jellicoe Close has a front and rear garden created over the past 5 yrs on shingle/beach reclaimed land, and is a Mediterranean, cottage style garden with wildlife, ecology and sustainability at its heart, and a potters studio. 16 Hardy Drive is a small urban back garden packed with plants dominated by a large palm tree and full borders. 23 Oldfield Road is a stunning exotic and tropical garden with hot beds of colour containing cannas, bananas (musa), ginger, palms, Tetrapanax papyrifer, gunnera and 70 varieties of succulents inc aeoniums, aloes and agaves. 6 Pashley Road, the tea venue on 14 July only, is a large urban garden backing onto the South Downs with a wide mix of floral shrubs, dahlias, hydrangeas, echium, gingers, a vegetable garden and greenhouse.
