Explore the world’s most diverse botanic garden at Wakehurst, then wander through Borde Hill’s enchanting garden rooms.

Discover Wakehurst’s global plant collections and Borde Hill’s floral charm.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Set in the heart of Sussex, and home to the Millennium Seed Bank, Wakehurst is an exquisite 500-acre site. Wakehurst is a living plant collection. Curated to accentuate the natural landscape, the plants are grown for research, conservation, and ornamental displays. They form the most diverse collection of any botanic garden in the world. Some of the plants are extinct in the wild. These gardens form cutting-edge research into conservation, and this garden showcases a living collection of exotic trees and woodland plants.

This is not an arboretum, but it does turn into a 'Woodlands of the World' walk as you stroll through North American trees, Southern Hemisphere trees, and the national collection of silver birches. A paradise for tree lovers, and everyone else who loves to walk through nature.

TELL ME MORE

There are two gardens on this walk. It's only a 12-minute drive from Wakehurst to Borde Hill. Here you can wander around the formal 'Garden Rooms'. Whether you are a fan of David Austin roses (there are 750 on display here), or you love lily pools complete with Italian planting, there really is a room to touch every soul. Dells and potting sheds, borders and lawns, these immersive spaces will take you on a gardening journey. This is a fabulous garden, and if you visit the shop (and who doesn't visit the shop?) you can take home a piece of Borde Hill to plant in your own garden - there's a rather delicious glasshouse café and restaurant too, so you are covered from all sides.

Start at Wakehurst and then motor over for an afternoon at Borde Hill. A gardener's delight, you can just park the non-gardeners in the café and catch up with them later, but these gardens are so special and diverse they won't want to be left behind.

Even four-legged friends are allowed in both gardens, but short leads, and bizarrely, not on the flower beds!

My husband and I had afternoon tea here which was a wedding present to us. The venue was stunning and the ambience was lovely. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Mahmut explained the different options so it was very clear. You get a free glass of champagne and we were given Moët. The food was lovely. Very tasty and was endless. Would definitely recommend

From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. We arrived early and were seated with no problems. The art deco splendor, very much my favourite era, was evident from floor to ceiling. We had a choice of over twenty years to choose from and you can change to another if you want to. The finger sandwiches arrived with smoked salmon and caviar on top. The scones were gorgeous and still warm. We were offered more sandwiches and scones but it was ample for me. The cakes were hats delivered...

The experience onboard the Sunborn Yacht was second to none. I was given a first class service , a fabulous room with balcony overlooking the Thames . The fantastic 3 course meal with Prosecco & Amazing Breakfast next morning were all included. The staff were all friendly, efficient & welcoming. I would thoroughly recommend.

I have taken a star off for the venue as the Palm Court is not wheelchair accessible - indeed getting in to the hotel at all required a staff member going to get a ramp and us entering through the bar in a confined space. That aside, the experience was wonderful. Staff make a real effort to turn it into an experience describing the menu - both food and drinks - and making sure that a birthday among our party was acknowledged (pianist playing Happy Birthday and a special dessert), Special "Seaso...
