These are October pictures – the Sussex Prairie Garden is closed now until June 1st 2024. But, as you can see, the season goes out with a blaze of colour – really spectacular place to wander around in, way more impressive than I was expecting – very calm, relaxed surroundings, definitely to be recommended for next year. It is a ‘new’ garden, designed and planted in the 20th and 21st centuries in West Sussex. It now claims to be the largest ‘prairie’ garden in Britain with 8 acres containing 35,000 plants – all apparently put there by friends and family of the owners! Quite a vision.
I had a magic afternoon, turning corner after dramatic corner – almost enough to get us through the grim grey that seems to have surrounded us ever since in the UK – and plenty of ideas for those dye baths!
