Autumn 2017
Autumn has certainly arrived and the lawns and paths are smothered with carpets of colourful leaves. This time of year its not just about the leaves, some berries and flowers can be seen at their best. Look out for the strange looking clusters of black berries on our Acanthopanax on the Oriental lawn, and there are some great Hawthorns (Crataegus) in our North American Arboretum.
The Botanic Garden is open:
10am to 5pm from 1st March to 31st October
10am to 4pm from 1st November to end of February (closed over Christmas).
