Winter Garden

There are bright winter owers on the Jasmine, Mahonia and Viburnum that are growing in the garden. Many of the winter owering shrubs also exude a lovely fragrance. These add to the experience and make the gardens a great place to visit this time of year. These include Viburnum Farreri, Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis, and Chimonanthus praecoxwhich is one of the best for fragrances.

There are plenty of signs that spring is on its way with the Sycopsis sinensis breaking into ower, some daffodils leaves are already nearly 8 inches tall and we are currently seeing a beautiful display of snowdrops coming into bloom on the top avenue. The park is also full of wildlife with lots of robins and birds enjoying the beautiful gardens.
