Brief description of site

Highdown is a plantsman's garden developed between 1909 and 1967 by Sir Frederick and Lady Stern.

Brief history of site

In 1909 the house and surrounding grounds were bought by Major, later Sir Frederick, Stern and his wife. From that date until Sir Frederick's death in 1967 they created and developed the present gardens, in and around a former chalk pit, partly as an experiment in gardening on chalk.
