Welcome. This simple guide is meant to answer the most common questions

visitors have from touring our

55 ACRES

of gardens. Here you will find many

of the plants either commonly used in our gardens, or those attracting the

most attention. The small boxes under each photo show the commonly

available colours, although they may not all be found in our gardens. Our

friendly, knowledgeable staff in the

PLANT

IDENTIFICATION

CENTRE

, or when closed,

the Visitor Information Centre can assist you with more in-depth information.

If you can´t find a plant in this guide, consider taking a digital photo and

showing it to our staff. One of our

50 GARDENERS

may also be able to assist you.
