Imagine the scent as you take the middle path … That’s Daphne ‘Jacqueline Postill‘ on both sides. Delicious!

Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill‘

The Winter Garden at Cambridge Botanical Gardens is designed as a dell and surrounded by hedges. Shielded from the noise of traffic, it is veritable sense sensation.

Chimonanthus praecox ‘Grandiflorus’

A brilliant green grass-edged path winds through the shallow valley which was designed so that sunlight illuminates some features and backlights others.

Star of the show (IMHO) currently is Hamamelis × intermedia ‘Jelena’
it all looks so beautiful, not just the plants but the calmness and sunlight too, Frances
Yes, it was cleverly planned and is a very popular destination round here. They do alter the planting from time to time, but the well-chosen trees and shrubs remain a very successful backbone to the area and of course get bigger and better each year.
What a good idea to make the planting list pdf available. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely, especially since the list is subdivided into helpful categories and illustrated! (It is what I like about the Chelsea flower show too)
So gorgeous! Is that first shot taken during spring or summer?
All the photos were taken last week … so winter! It is lovely to linger at the lowest point, totally surrounded. It is like an inverse auditorium.
I wish we lived closer. ( Garden envy).
No need, with Croome nearby I think, but I recognise how luck I am too.
