November at West Dean

Posted on November 5, 2014 by West Dean Gardens • 1 Comment

A dry September – the driest on record has been followed by a reasonably damp October (so my wish for rain was granted!) this year and I must say the recent weather has created perfect conditions for planting, of which we’ve been taking advantage. As I write we have yet to suffer a frost which … Continue reading →

Gorgeous autumn is a time to visit West Dean Gardens with your camera- for when the place is bathed in golden autumnal light it’s just ripe for the creative photographer.

West Dean Gardens – June 2014

Posted on June 9, 2014 by West Dean Gardens • Leave a comment

Last winter’s rain has acted like rocket fuel to the gardens, there is fabulous growth on trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials everywhere. As a result the early season wild flower display was floriferous in the extreme – always a glorious sight. Shortly it will be mown down (before it falls down!), however there will be … Continue reading →

West Dean Gardens – March 2014

Posted on February 27, 2014 by West Dean Gardens • Leave a comment

It’s official, it’s been the wettest winter on record with 425mm of rain falling so far this year – about 17 inches in old money. As a consequence the mighty river Lavant is in fine form whooshing through the gardens lickety-split. If only it was a feature for 12 months of the year how thrilling … Continue reading →
