King John's Garden Nursery, Café & Garden.
Indulge in coffee and cake, explore the gardens, browse our eclectic nursery shop or visit one of our great events, an escape from the usual in the heart of rural Sussex.
Hidden away down a sleepy country lane, a nursery, garden and café lie nestled within the oaks of the High Weald of East Sussex. The nursery was created out of two derelict 1950s chicken sheds and the owner’s passion for growing plants, but has evolved into a rural retreat. An eclectic range of things to buy in the shop, a beautifully styled rustic café and a stunning garden make it a special place to visit and well worth the detour.
Latest news from the nursery:
We are open Thursday to Sunday 10am - 5pm
