Merriments

About the garden

Merriments Garden in East Sussex is a vibrant four-acre haven celebrated for its rich seasonal colour and imaginative planting schemes. Designed with artistic flair, the garden unfolds as a series of interlinked spaces, each with its own character, from sweeping herbaceous borders to the structured elegance of a medicinal garden. Every path invites exploration, leading visitors past ponds, secluded seating areas, and thoughtfully composed vistas that showcase the best of English garden design.

What makes Merriments truly special is its year-round appeal. Spring bursts with bulbs and fresh greenery, summer dazzles in fiery reds, oranges, and purples, and autumn softens into golden tones with ornamental grasses and late perennials. Even in winter, the garden’s structure and textures create a serene, sculptural beauty. More than a visual feast, Merriments demonstrates how colour, texture, and form can transform spaces. With an on-site café serving homemade meals, it’s the perfect destination for those seeking inspiration, tranquility, or simply a delightful day out immersed in horticultural creativity.
