Why visit Borde Hill Garden?
Borde Hill combines formal garden rooms near the house with woodland, lakes and the wider South Park. The collection is known for rare trees and shrubs gathered during early twentieth-century plant-hunting expeditions. Moving between the enclosed rooms and open parkland makes the estate feel varied without losing its horticultural focus. The visitor route also gives enough space for a longer walk, while the compact areas near the house suit anyone mainly interested in planting combinations.
What to see
- Move between distinct garden rooms with different planting styles and shelter.
- Look for rare trees and shrubs within the estate's historic plant collection.
