Denmans is a superb 20th century garden of about 1.5 ha, planted for all year interest. Once farmland, Denmans Garden nestles in the West Sussex countryside. It is predominantly the work of renowned landscape designer, John Brookes. He has combined native species with many frost tender plants, which the visitor will be pleasantly surprised to find thriving so near the Sussex Downs. Some of the latter are housed within the Dutch light Greenhouse - a feature one cannot miss upon arrival.

Gravel is used extensively in the garden both to walk on and as a growing medium so that you walk through the plantings rather than past them. A dry gravel 'stream' meanders down to a large natural looking pond. There is a walled garden, conservatory and a glass area for tender plants.

From here, The South Garden can be reached in which Brookes has experimented with both texture and colour. Year round interest is provided by Aquilegia in late spring; Campanulas and Ceratostigma in summer; and Hellebores with Iris foetidissima in winter. A Clock House, conservatory and locally produced statuary provide further interest in this varied and innovative garden.
