The South Downs surrounds Brighton, so there is always plenty of greenery. But for those looking specifically for botanic gardens, you can go and visit The Garden House or The Secret Garden! The Garden House used to be a market garden and then was derelict for a very long time until it was bought by partners Bridgette and Graham. It is not open every day, but it is always worth a visit when it is. However, The Secret Garden is open more often and is not just full of flowers, but has major outdoor works of sculpture and art and a cafe and gorgeous scenery.
