Nine gardens are opening in the delightful Sussex village of Hellingly. There is a pretty walled cottage garden with summerhouse and sunny terrace. A garden entered via a bridge over a large pond, perfect for wildlife with countryside views, and two cottage gardens overlooking the C12 Church of St Peter and St Paul. Another two gardens are in the heart of the village, one with a rose-filled front garden where the plant sale will be, and next door is an extensive garden still in development with beautiful trees and roses, and ice-creams for sale. On the other side of the village, a unique garden where lunches and teas will be served, incorporates the River Cuckmere, a sluice gate and a lush mix of perennials and mature trees.
