with the school as I was helping on the school trip (reception so 4/5 year olds - oh boy are they noisy!!) It had a beautiful rose garden, the scent was amazing! I'm actually tempted to plant a few rose bushes myself. There was an amazing chalk garden too (being on the South Downs there is a lot of chalk!) where we watched a rather silly rabbit come out for a sunbathe, but rolling sideways down the slope (like you probably did as a child ;D) Best bit is the garden is free to visit so I will definately be going back again so I can enjoy it. Plus that way I can take some photos as there wasn't a lot of time for that as was trying to supervise four 4 year old boys...  Jardack |

Visiting other gardens is great, because there is usually something to spark an idea. Next time, go on your own, and choose one serving teas and home baking, and a plant stall.  |

Which garden did you visit Jardack? It sounds lovely, despite having to monitor the children!  |

WeeT - when we got there we were lining up making sure we'd not lost any on walk from coach to garden and we were standing by the tea rooms - Oh boy! The smell was gorgeous!!! Will def go back for another trip!
Plocket - it was Highdown Gardens, they were created by Sir Stern and his wife and given to the council who now look after it.
