Do not arrive late because there is something behind every shrubbery that you could never believe was there, ancient dwarf conifers, swings, tropical trees, bees, amazes, pools, giant fish, forests of giant prickly rhubarb and squeezy through bamboo, tunnels that get smaller and smaller till you have to crawl, and a decent cafe with gluten free and wheaty fodder too.
The perfect place for a stroll any time of year. Wonderful plants, trees and open spaces. Beautifully planted with so much of interest. Lots for children and adults to enjoy. Stunning views and lots of birdlife too. Don’t forget the restaurants also- excellent food. Often an exhibition too of local artists and craftspeople the best place to spend your time!
Love the place! Any season, any day, any weather!
Also, I’d like to congratulate you on the use of china cups, in your cafe, and “real” teaspoons, unlike the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew where plastic cups, lids, cutlery etc are used, not only in takeaway outlets, but their indoor cafes as well.
So very well done Sir Harold Hillier Arboretum!!! #saynotoplastic
