A fun and interactive tour where you can learn about the basics of botany and ecological balance whilst having fun.

In this ‘young’ arboretum, you can identify over 200 species of trees and shrubs by touch and smell, and discover that plants can communicate with one another or help one another. You’ll be guided by the garden designers, who’ll tell you how their passion began, what drives them and their plans for future plantings. Visits to the arboretum offer a chance to uncover the secrets of botany. Each tree species has developed different strategies to increase its chances of reproducing or resisting neighbours that can sometimes be invasive. By taking a closer look at the flowers, seeds and what remains hidden from view, we discover treasures of ingenuity. Tours of the arboretum resume on 15 April as the leaves begin to sprout.
