Inspired by the plant hunting adventures of Ernest Wilson, this trail around Rowallane Garden encourages visitors, kids and adults alike, to stop and smell the roses, poppies, rhododendrons and other flora and fauna in the garden and learn all about how they came to be staples in the British garden.
Travelling through China in search of the Handkerchief Tree to the Himalays in seach of the Blue Poppy, Ernest Wilson never let his lack of knowledge about the plants he hunted or the lands he visited stop him from accomplishing his goals. .
