Leonardslee Gardens, near Lower Beeding in Sussex.
It is our first visit to these gardens in many years.
Leonardslee is an English country house and landscaped woodland garden in Lower Beeding, near Horsham, West Sussex, England. The Grade I listed garden is particularly significant for its spring displays of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, magnolias and bluebells, with the flowering season reaching its peak in May. The estate includes a 19th-century Italianate style house and lodge.
Victorian plant collector Sir Edmund Loder purchased the estate in 1889 and planted extensive collections of Rhododendrons and Azaleas and many species of trees. He planted a large amount of exotic flora in a short time and also introduced gazelle, beavers, kangaroos and wallabies. The wallabies still remain.
The last Loder to own Leonardslee, Robin Loder, created four new lakes and new plantings on the east side of the valley. In February 2010 the estate was sold to an international businessman. The gardens closed to the public in June 2010.
In July 2017, the house and gardens were acquired by the Benguela Collection Hospitality Group, owned by the South African-based entrepreneur Penny Streeter. Following restoration and maintenance, the gardens reopened to the public in April 2019.
