Dr Tim Upson, Chairman of Borde Hill Garden & RHS Director of Horticulture and Andrewjohn Stephenson Clarke
THE history and legacy of Borde Hill Garden’s diverse collection of plants is at the heart of a new design.
It’s part of the garden’s 125th anniversary celebrations.
Sophie Walker’s modern design for the Round Dell mixes exciting new plant specimens, found in the 21st Century, alongside Borde Hill’s significant treasury of plants which includes one of the largest collections of champion trees in private gardens.
Four generations of the Stephenson Clarke family have lived in this historic Tudor house near Haywards Heath.
The garden is probably best-known as a plant hunters’ paradise, containing many rare shrubs and trees. The new garden in the Round Dell is within a clearing once excavated for stone to build the house.
