Tuesday 27th May 2025 – Cancelled owing to bad weather
Parsonage Farm, Kirdford, RH14 0NH
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts we have been unable to re-schedule a suitable date for a visit to Parsonage Farm as the venue is booked up for 2025. We have decided to cancel the visit for this year, and will arrange to go next May 2026 (as we are advised that late spring is the best time to see the garden at its best).

Chalk Farm Flowers, Roger’s Lane, Findon, BN14 0RE
Molly and Dan welcomed us to their one acre site where they grow a wide range of flowers without the use of any chemicals or pesticides. They also have five runner ducks who help with pest control. They prioritise farming alongside nature rather against it, and looking after local wildlife is important to them. We had a very enjoyable evening.
Directions: Take the A24 towards Worthing. At the Findon Roundabout take the 1st exit onto School Hill. After 0.3 miles turn left to stay on Cross Lane. After 0.4 miles turn right onto Findon Bypass A24, then after 0.2 miles turn slight left onto Roger’s Lane. The farm is 130 yds on the left.

Ichi Coo Park, Russ Hill Farm, Russ Hill, Charlwood, RH6 0EL
We had a wonderful guided tour around Ichi-Coo Park and it definitely was unlike any garden we have previously visited. The 16 acre garden is full of glorious shapes and shades of green, painted into the background of the Sussex Weald. It hosts a huge collection of plants, trees and water spaces, and being elevated and only ten minutes from Gatwick Airport there is also a picturesque view of the entire airfield—a plane spotter’s dream!
This really was a fabulous garden and we were made very welcome by the owner.
