Woodland Gardens – Woodland Plants

Woodland Gardens – Woodland Plants
Camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias thrive in dappled or partial shade  from woodland or ornamental trees.

The choice is immense and we have selected only a tiny proportion of our customer favourites.

Please do browse the website to see what you like for the spring or summer flowering trees or for our autumn colour.

Woodland gardens should be low maintenance and the grass only really needs cutting once or twice from late June when the spring bulbs and wild flowers have died down or set seed.

This is a selection of our favourites.
