Description:
|
Batsford Garden Centre is a specialist
plantsman's garden showcasing many rare and unusual
trees, shrubs, alpine plants, herbaceous and
perennials plus a full complement of garden sundries,
compost mulches, terracotta and glazed pots, seeds
and gifts. The Centre offers specialist advice on its
stock of Ferns, Bamboos, Japanese Maples and Magnolias. The adjacent Batsford Arboretum
covers 56 acres and is one of the largest private
collections of trees and shrubs in the country.
It was originally designed in the late 1800s by Algernon Freeman Mitford, later Lord
Redesdale, who was influenced in his plantings by his love of
the landscapes of China and Japan which developed during his diplomatic postings there earlier in
the century. He imported the Buddha and other
bronze statues for the arboretum and introduced
features such as the Japanese Rest House, Hermit's
Cave, rockeries and a 600-metre long artificial stream.
