The Gardens

The gardens at King John's nursery have been developed over the last few years and are blossoming into a collection of very special tranquil areas. With experimental planting and creative use of old materials a walk around always provides the visitors with ideas and inspirations. The gardens showcase a lot of the great herbaceous plants sold in the nursery and also and sit perfectly within the wild landscape of the high Weald.

 

From April the 1st 2024 I'm very sorry to say that the gardens surrounding King John's Lodge will no longer be open to the public.

‘Such a beautiful place to discover. Everywhere (and everybody) so welcoming. We will be back with more friends who appreciate such atmosphere. Thank you!’

Over the years the garden has featured in many publications all over the world. Below are links to a few of those articles:

A delightful and deceptively large rustic café serving cakes and a great selection of fine teas and coffees. With a roaring fire to warm you up on winter days!

The shop offers an eclectic mix of garden tools, ornaments, vintage finds and great ideas for the home. With such a diverse range it’s worth popping in to see what words can’t describe!

The nursery grows a selection of perennial plants with care and expertise. Varieties are chosen because they are the most beautiful, the hardest to find or are the most exciting new introductions.
