About Denmans Garden

Denmans Garden is a four acre garden between Arundel and Chichester with year round interest and plenty to see.

Managed by John Brookes since 1980 until his death in 2018 the ever evolving garden is a contemporary country garden with water features, a curvilinear layout, year round planting and faux dry river beds.

By design the serpentine paths reveal new sight lines on each turn into welcoming and intimate spaces.

As well as the gardens there is a plant centre, gift shop and the Midpines Cafe serves refreshments from 9am to 3pm.

Entry to all of these facilities is free and you do not need garden tickets.
