Set within the South Downs National Park, Ditchling is a thriving village dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. Today it is still home to artists, writers, and craftspeople, along with musicians and winemakers. The love and passion for gardening is evident in the six gardens opening. Five being in the village centre whilst White Rails Cottage is ½ mile walk away. Three of the gardens are mature, whilst the three new ones are at various stages of 'work in progress'. These are exciting projects, each different and complementing each other. Each garden has its own feel, united by a love of bees, birds, butterflies, and wildlife. Maybe even spot a hedgehog family or the very rare fungus Sarcodontia crocea at Meadow Cottage.
