The June walkabout...

On Wednesday 26th June we had an evening walk around the garden for our current season ticket holders. Macolm Pharoah led the garden tour, providing us with updates of new plantings and rare and unusual plants. This year, we were also lucky enough to have John and Libby Snowdon, the owners of Marwood Hill Garden join us on the walk, together with our gardeners. It was a beautiful summer evening, rounded off with tea and cakes!

Plants of Interest - July 2019

Unusual, colourful, spectacular - watch out for these on your visit this month.

Plants of Interest - June 2019

Not so flaming June has arrived, after a lovely start to the year. However, some of the larger shrubs and trees are now coming into their own - look out especially for the unusual Hankerchief tree, with its hankie-like flowers.

Cornus Kousa

Our cornus kousa are looking the best we can remember this year. Their bracts will stay for a few weeks yet - make sure you come and see them.

Candelabra primulas

The gardens here change daily, especially at this time of year. Don't miss the candelabra primulas in the bog garden
