News
The Woodland Garden (map 20) is looking good at the moment, look out for “shooting stars” (Dodecatheon), Wake Robin (Trillium) and a lots of “candelarbra” type Primula, such as the “Mealy Primrose” (Primula pulverulenta, a Japanese species). The giant Gunnera (a native of Brazil) is making steady progress, so much so its blocking the path!
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).
We are open on Bank Holidays and Easter Sunday.
