Welcome to the Commonwork gardens at Bore Place. 

"One touch of nature makes the whole word kin".
William Shakespeare, Troilus & Cressida

The gardens are managed organically - gently observing nature’s astounding diversity and blurring the boundaries between culture and the wild.  

The gardens at Bore Place are an integral part of the unique environment  available to users of the Commonwork conference and study centre, and an outdoor classroom for school children and adults.  

Set on heavy Wealden clay, the site has enjoyed recorded settlement since 1216. The listed garden wall by the Reflecting Pool dates back to Tudor times whilst other features such as the water reservoirs are Victorian.
