About West Dean

Views of the gardens

Whether garden fanatic or casual visitor, staying an hour or a day, at any season, there is always something to enjoy at West Dean Gardens. Since 1622, the house and gardens at West Dean have evolved in harmony, creating a place of beauty and tranquillity in the rolling South Downs.

Head Gardener, Jim Buckland

Jim has been managing the historic and listed 90 acre-West Dean Gardens along with his wife Sarah Wain since 1991.
