The Mill House, West Sussex

Tucked away at the bottom of a deep valley in the High Weald, the Mill House dates back, in some parts, to the 17th century and offers stunning views over a beautiful reservoir. The owners, Alison and Graeme, moved in around fifteen years ago and soon contacted Alex Bell to help them take on the challenge of this large garden with particular growing conditions; a collaboration that continues to this day as a new project is tackled every year. The garden is in constant evolution and has now matured into an informal space with naturalistic planting, in harmony with its surroundings.
