The great news is that The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew are sending their experts to advise us and have offered to provide some seed from their Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst. We are very excited about it!

Banking with Kew
Each border in the garden will represent different plant habitats found locally from plants that thrive in the shingle beach to ones that are found in our rare chalk heathland.

Fish Mesh Barrier
Local sculptor Christian Funnell, a genius with metal, has crafted a spectacular new barrier to protect us from falling over the cliff edge.
We can now enjoy National Trust coffee and cake sitting on the cliff top with Christians beautiful metal fish swimming across the sea view – awesome!

Welcome to the Birling Gap Native Garden!
Something exciting is happening this Autumn at Birling Gap.
Volunteers from the South Downs National Park have been beavering away to make an Interpretation Garden.
Drift woods collected from the beach and hauled up the steps, with much puffing and groaning is being transformed into dramatic garden sculptures rippling across the garden like waves on the shore or the soft curves of chalk downland.
Come and take a look at our garden as it grows….We would love to share it with you.
I’ll leave you some intriguing images of the next phase under construction.
