ONE GARDEN

At the far end of Stanmer Park and adjacent to Stanmer Village is One Garden. Also composed of One Market and One Kitchen, this spot is a breath of fresh air away from the hustle of the city. There is a farmer’s market of fresh, locally sourced produce and a gorgeous restaurant to dine in. The space was recently rediscovered and reinvented in Spring 2021 as an urban garden, expertly designed by modern-day landscape architect Dominic Cole. It is intended to inspire visitors as well as including productive traditional fruit and vegetable crops. As Plumpton College’s centre of horticultural excellence, One Garden offers a variety of educational courses covering floristry, horticulture and dog grooming. Find out more about the courses and workshops by going to the ‘Education’ section of their website. Or, take part in an art or food and drink workshop courtesy of One Events
