What's out now...
There’s so much to discover in the garden now. Bluebells are weaving vibrant carpets through the glades, while magnolias and the last of the camellias continue to bloom..
Many of our rhododendrons are bursting into colour, with more still to come. ‘Cynthia’, our iconic Rhododendron, is beginning to appear in the garden’s more sheltered corners. In Ant Wood, our collection of hardy hybrid rhododendrons is thriving, offering a striking display. Cowslips, primroses, blossoms, hellebores, and snake’s head fritillaries are all putting on a spectacular spring performance.
In the Azalea Garden, Rhododendron obtusum, also known as the Kurume azalea—a delightful species native to Japan—is in full glory. And from across the pond, you can spot Rhododendron ‘St Breward’, covered in vivid violet-blue blooms that are simply unmissable.
The garden is changing by the day, it promises to be at its finest throughout the rest of April and into May—so if you're wondering when to visit, now is the perfect time!
