Nymans is a dynamic garden with a 'tradition of change'. Fertile soil and a mild climate support a wonderful plant collection, notable for its Chilean and Himalayan accessions and 29 champion trees. Rich areas of display compliment our woody plants; the June Borders showcase modern perennial planting, The Summer Borders are a vibrant experiment in annual bedding and beds of tender bulbs and half-hardies bring added colour throughout the garden. 

Nymans has always worked on sustainable principles, collecting water, selecting plants perfectly attuned to the soil and site, minimising inputs and finding clever solutions to energy use. We are one of many National Trust gardens perfecting the art of 'green' gardening.

Our HBGBS trainee will receive an outstanding training and feel empowered to develop new skills and competencies. The garden team are skilled and knowledgeable trainers and ensure that our trainee leaves us as a fully-fledged professional gardener.
