Magnificent Magnolias

Antony Woodland Garden is known for its magnolias, which come into their own from February through to early May.

With over nearly 250 different varieties growing within the Rame Peninsula's unique microclimate, the magnolias at Antony are one of the biggest and best collections in the UK.

The woodland garden at Antony is a haven of serenity and peace, and the perfect place for a pleasant walk, a picnic, for children to explore, and also for experienced and amateur gardeners alike to admire the magnificent variety of plants and trees.

There is something about the budding of a Magnolia shrub that makes us all breathe a sigh of relief at the recognition that winter is finally over and spring is here. Their delightful goblet-shaped flowers come in a variety of colours covering white, pale pink, yellow and purple and are a beautiful sight to behold.
