Garden Zone

The Garden Zone covers the area nearest to the Mansion and includes the Sir Henry Price and the Pleasaunce walled gardens, the Winter Garden, Spring Border, Southern Hemisphere Garden, The Slips and Water Gardens, Specimen Beds and Mansion Pond. The Tony Schilling Asian Heath Garden is always interesting and Compost Corner offers a glimpse into an interesting regeneration project.

All this, together with the Millennium Seed Bank could be covered fairly fully in a day. This leaves the rest of Wakehurst Place itself - the Woodlands and Conservation zones - to another day. And the superb Loder Valley Nature Reserve to which access is limited in numbers and by permission only - for a third!
