Read about this gardenRoam our magnificent living plant collection
Our collections at Wakehurst are planted to a 'woodland' principle, rather than an 'arboretum' and have been especially curated to accentuate the stunning, rural natural landscape.
They are connected to form a Woodlands of the World walk.
What is a Living Plant Collection?
A living collection is what sets a botanic garden apart from a park or public garden.
It is a group of plants grown especially for research, conservation, education purposes or ornamental display.
To help our visitors understand and learn from this work, we accurately identify and document the plants at Wakehurst.
