When establishing the Gardens 25 years ago, the broad landscape of the Sussex Weald and South Downs provided Graham Gough with a rich source of inspiration. By selecting and experimenting with plants and plantings of a more expressive style, a garden was created that melds almost seamlessly with the timeless beauty of the vista beyond.
Saturday 5th and Sun 6th Oct / 11am – 4pm: Autumn Plant Fair at Great Dixter, East Sussex. Visit the fabulous Great Dixter gardens for this small specialist plant fair and look out for Marchants Hardy Plants.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Marchants Hardy Plants nursery and garden will close for the final time this Autumn.
Following an extraordinary 25+ years developing the garden and nursery Graham and Lucy have decided that they now wish to pursue future challenges and will soon be advertising the site for sale. They will be posting their own farewell messages and photographs on our website soon.
We want to say a massive thank you all of you, our wonderful customers – thank you for your support, your enthusiasm and your passion for plants. Of course we also want to thank Lucy and Graham for giving us the opportunity to run Marchants over the last three years.
Huge thanks are also due to our amazing team Beccy and Faith, and our brilliant volunteers Debbie, Mick, Wendy, Chris, Frances, Ken, Alan and Martin – and all the people who have helped us over the last few years.
We’re so proud that the garden and nursery are looking so good and that everyone has contributed so much to creating such a successful team.
From Henry, Hannah and Jean, we send our thanks and best wishes to all of you. We look forward to seeing you at some point this last month – and don’t forget, keep on gardening!
From spring, through summer and into the autumn the gardens at Marchants offer an inspiring medley of colour and exciting plant combinations.
Standard entry charge is £5 per person / children under 16 yrs free.
By prior arrangement ONLY, visits from Horticultural Societies, private parties, Garden Clubs and other garden enthusiasts are warmly welcomed.
