Visitors can follow a trail or explore at leisure. In spring, blossoming trees and flowering bulbs predominate, giving way to myriad shades of green punctuated by drifts of wildflowers in the summer. In autumn the colours are particularly spectacular as reds, oranges and golds vie for attention. There's a busy events programme offering everything from botanical and horticultural walks and lectures, to have-a-go activities, arts and crafts workshops.
Children's activities like our popular photo walks encourage little ones to explore, understand and interact with nature. There are also extra events and workshops available for children during school holidays. Please pick up a What's On guide, or check the website for the latest events information.
