Ocklynge Manor, East Sussex

This is an unusual garden in that it sits on chalk, therefore the owners had an initial battle getting plants, especially herbaceous, to succeed.

Synopsis
With difficult chalk soil, the owners solution was to use container planting to achieve stunning results. There is also emphasis on the use of varied textured and shaped foliage. Interestingly, it is also a very low maintenance garden. Undoubtedly other garden owners with gardens on difficult geography could take tips from Mr and Mrs Dugdill. The children's book illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell lived here during the 1930s. The garden is open under the NGS in May.
