About Marchants Hardy Plants

Atmospheric 2 acre garden and plant nursery with striking backdrop of the South Downs. Featured on Carol Klein’s Great British Gardens TV series, the garden is imaginatively designed and sensitively planted with a rich tapestry of unusual herbaceous plants, and graceful grasses add to the interest.

One of the country's leading independent nurseries, the team propagates all their plants. Agapanthus and grasses are a specialty with some developed and cultivated on site.
