• The Sussex Prairie garden is based in our small farm near Henfield in West Sussex.

• Surrounded by mature oak trees the six acre garden consists of a series of interlocking arcs of large planted borders in a naturalistic style.

• The borders encourage exploration and adventure and visitors are welcome to roam in amongst the mighty plants to further enjoy the experience. The plantings consist of large groupings of each variety, planted in a free flowing style, which contrasts leaf forms, stems, stalks, flower shapes and textures. Colours are soft and muted, and complement the natural landscape.

• The borders serve as a living catalogue of plants used by Paul and Pauline in their garden design business, the plants themselves are the stock plants from which plants are taken into the farm nursery.

• The Sussex Prairie garden also features a unique cutting garden. From here we can pick a myriad of flowers and foliage for our flower arranging master classes as well as provide a wealth of gorgeous flowers for cut flower bouquets and arrangements. Please contact us if you would like us to supply bespoke arrangements for that special dinner party, lunch or event, or if you would like us to run a bespoke flower arranging course for you and a group of friends.

• Both Paul and Pauline are keen to emphasize the beauty and wonder of perennial planting and to demonstrate the longer season benefits of perennials and grasses in dream combinations.

• Our wide ranging interests in the arts have allowed us to start a collection of sculptures which also feature in the garden.

• To arrange your visit to Sussex Prairies, please telephone on 01273 495902 or email us at morlandsfarm@btinternet.com

• Groups of over 20 people can enjoy an introductory talk on arrival as well as a personal guided tour around the garden with Paul and/or Pauline.

And last but not least, why not enjoy a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and be tempted by a selection of our delicious home baking served on our terrace overlooking the garden.
