At the heart of the garden Borde Hill House, a Tudor mansion dating from 1580,
provides a superb backdrop to the formal 17-acre Garden which flows into a series of linked ‘garden rooms’, each boasts its own
distinctive character and style:
Garden of Allah, with its tranquil atmosphere
Azalea Ring, offers stunning early summer colour
Victorian Greenhouses, including the Africa House
Mediterranean Garden
Jay Robin Rose Garden & herbaceous border
Old Rhododendron Garden
Italian Garden
The Dells and the Old Potting sheds
The South Lawn and HaHa
Over the past century the plantings have evolved with the
vision of
providing visitors with year-round colour and interest to compliment the
early Spring colour of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias and Magnolias. The recreated
Rose
Garden and herbaceous borders add a blaze of colour for much of the late
spring and into early Autumn. The sub-tropical Dells have an air of tropical mystery,
and sheltered areas within a mature landscape bring unexpected delights
to the visitors.
