Exploring the Sussex Prairie Garden - Britain's largest!

Today I visit Sussex Prairie Garden near Henfield in West Sussex. I meet up with the owner, Pauline McBride, who takes me around and shows me the incredible garden.
Sussex Prairie garden opened to the public in 2009. They are Britain’s largest “Prairie,” or “Naturalistic,” garden, with eight acres of stunning garden to roam around. Unlike most gardens of a comparable size, they have no castle or stately home! They designed and planted the garden themselves, on Pauline’s family farm in West Sussex. Instead of armies of servants and gardeners, they planted all 35 000 plants with help of amazing friends and family!

What a lovely lady Pauline is so enthusiastic about her project. Fantastic video Richard 🐝

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Claire! Yes Pauline was amazing!

[@jenstewart1229]

Prairie meadows are one of my most favorite places to be. It’s exactly as she said, so relaxing. It’s amazing that this was all grown by hand. The fires in the winter would be a sight to see.

[@RichardVobes]

It would be fabulous to come back and film the fire process.

[@MrGreatplum]

What a labour of love - a fabulous place and you can see that Pauline has put her heart and soul into the garden - another place for me to visit :)

[@RichardVobes]

Well worth it - lots to see.

[@tallpojjy]

What a lovely enthusiastic lady Pauline is, and the garden is just incredible. I would be interested to see it in each season, see how it changes, and see the January fires! So inspirational to see this. Thank you.

[@RichardVobes]

I hope she and the garden survived last year.

[@olkamick4863]

We need many more wonderful blooming gardens.

[@petermay8564]

I'd love to work with a woman like her she's so positive and fun. She's someone you wake up and get excited about going to see and work in that environment love it

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks David - it was very cool!

[@James-ko9nr]

What a wonderful garden and lady. You have to visit in January when they burn the dry stuff.

[@RichardVobes]

That would be fun!

[@86abruzzo]

From a native in Illinois, I wish more Europeans loved our land as we did and as much as this lady does and actually came to live amongst it and protect it, not destroy it for self greed and capital gains.. our lands were a paradise, now they are waste lands.. my people fought to death to protect our mother earth and we still continue our fight for her

[@RichardVobes]

Keep up the good fight!

[@1950PeeJay]

What a fabulous place and such a lovely lady who is obviously very passionate about what she does. More like this please Mr Vobes :-)
