About Steyning Gardens
Steyning is a lively market town on the edge of the South Downs, home to many artists and crafts people. The three gardens open are all very different. Brambletye is a south facing garden designed with a prairie effect to attract birds and pollinators. It is planted with bulbs, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and roses, and a small sunken area with raised beds for vegetables and herbs. Nightingale House has a recently designed cottage style garden with both perennials and annuals. There is an attractive greenhouse and a bespoke metal screen covered in roses and clematis. 15 Penlands Rise is a small cottage garden that has evolved into a series of borders and island beds, with narrow paths in between. There are roses, clematis, many salvias and perennials, and a collection of over 100 pots, some with hydrangeas, but most filled with a colourful mix of annuals and tender plants.
