AWG is an “International Camellia Garden of Excellence”, one of only four in this country, and holds the National Collection of Camellia japonica. There is also a wonderful collection of nearly two hundred and fifty different types of magnolias and a good many other ornamental woody plants including hydrangeas and rhododendrons.
As part of the National Garden Scheme, the Open Days are the perfect opportunity to come and explore the pathways and vistas for the first time or rediscover an old favourite spot.
Whilst the woodland café will be serving a delicious variety of hot drinks and cakes, there is plenty of outside space to take it away and enjoy or you are welcome to bring your own picnic. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the Woodland Walk only. Well-behaved adults are welcome in the Garden and the Woodland Walk!
