National Garden Scheme 2027

The Wadhurst Park gardens will be open on the 11th & 12th June 2027

Naturalistic gardens designed by Tom Stuart-Smith, recently updated by Hortus Collective. A C19 site within an 800 hectare estate, managed organically to enhance wildlife, cultural heritage and beauty. The gardens invite the wider landscape in with native woodland flora, meadows and hedgerows, framing views to hills and lake. We strive to garden with a greater respect for the natural world.

Home-made teas including vegan & gluten-free cakes.

Opening times -10:00-16:00
