You might think that five years is a long time to wait for your garden to evolve and mature but let me tell you, compared to West Dean gardens, five years is a mere heart beat because since 1622 the gardens at West Dean have been maturing.
Poet and former owner and surrealist Edward James is buried in the 54 acre arboretum which offers visitors wonderful views of the south downs.
Visitor attractions include the restored Victorian kitchen walled garden, the national collections of Liriodendron and Aesculus, the magnificent restored Victorian Greenhouses and fruit gardens.
