We are delighted to share that our ‘Reinventing Borde Hill’ project has just been approved by Mid Sussex District Council, marking the next step forward for this inspiring new chapter.

Thanks to the generous support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, this £3.6 million project will safeguard our significant botanical heritage while unlocking 110 acres of heritage listed parkland for new and diverse audiences.

This project will improve access to our South Park, creating spaces for outdoor learning and discovery, and connecting local communities to the restorative power of nature for their mental and physical wellbeing. Our vision is to inspire future generations through the wonders of the natural world, whilst ensuring our plant heritage continues to thrive.

As we enter this exciting new phase, we will continue our work with local schools, groups, and charities to ensure the South Park becomes a vibrant and inclusive space which genuinely serves local needs. To find out more or to donate to the project, visit the Reinventing Borde Hill page here
