About Sullington Old Rectory

Sullington Old Rectory is set in approximately 30 acres at the foot of the South Downs. The garden has extensive, herbaceous perennial borders, designed in a unique and meticulously thought out way by designer, Mark Dixon. The garden is being continuously adapted and tweaked by the new Head Gardener, Jack Bryant, with many new and exciting, experimental projects on the go, such as, ‘re-wilding’ the paddocks and expanding our woodland areas to further increase the bio-diversity.

We open for just two days a year, in July, where the perennial borders are looking their best. Popping with colour and alive with bees and butterflies, Sullington Old Rectory is a real treat for everyone and shouldn’t be missed. We look forward to sharing our garden with you this summer.
