A new Garden for the Future has opened at Sheffield Park and Garden in East Sussex, marking the Grade-I listed landscapes first ‘major’ land-based regeneration in over 70 years.
The new garden, designed by landscape architect and garden designer, Joe Perkins, will be used to observe and track how new and old species respond together in their new environment.
“It’s a kick starter for how we can adapt historical gardens to be able to cope with the challenges we’re going to face in the future climatically”, says Perkins.
With the intention to influence future design adaptations in the surrounding 120-acre garden, which has resided in the National Trust’s care since 1954.
At an exclusive tour of the new climate mitigation garden, Perkins notes that the design, while respectful of the site’s heritage, is progressive in nature, with a strong theme of sustainability and climate resilience.
