An “overlooked” corner of a Grade I listed landscape has been turned into a garden that will test plants’ resilience to climate change, the National Trust said.
The new “garden for the future” in Sheffield Park and Garden, East Sussex, is the first major refresh in the historic landscape influenced by the likes of Capability Brown and Humphry Repton, since it was acquired by the conservation charity in 1954.
The National Trust said the new planting, designed by RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winning designer Joe Perkins, would follow in the tradition of Sheffield Park and Garden’s history as a place of new landscape design and experimental planting.
