Garden of the Week: Clinton Lodge
CLINTON Lodge in Fletching, near Uckfield, is opening on Monday July 28 as part of the National Gardens Scheme.
This 6 acre garden, part formal, part romantic, is undoubtedly one of the jewels in the NGS's crown and shouldn't be missed.
Double herbaceous borders set between yew and box and full of delphiniums, phlox & monkshood with drifts of crambe and arums.
Arcades wreathed in white roses and clematis.
Knots of box enveloping aromatic plants.
Seats made of turf and the paths releasing the fragrance of camomile.
A potager, with colourful vegetables and flowers, espalier greengages and bowers of sweet peas and beans.
A pear walk, wild flower garden and a rose garden, all places to linger and inhale.
And a swimming pool garden, a lesson on how to incorporate a pool into a garden.
Clinton Lodge, Fletching TN22 3ST (4 miles NW of Uckfield, from A272 turn N at Piltdown for Fletching), is open on Monday July 28 (also Aug 4), 2 – 5.30pm, adults 4, children free.
