"Thirty-three acres of woodland garden feature the largest collection of species (wild) rhododendrons in the world. Peak bloom time is Feb-Apr, but there is so much more! The Conservatory has high altitude tropical rhododendrons (Vireyas) in bloom all year. There are maples, magnolias, camellias, conifers, Himalayan plants (Meconopsis and Cardiocrinum giganteum) and the Hardy Fern collection. The Victorian Stumpery is a rare sight. There is always something amazing growing. You feel like you’re walking through a Himalayan forest any time of the year!"
