We hope to reinstate hybrid Rhododendrons into the space. We’re beginning to propagate our own Shugborough-grown Rhododendrons from existing hybrid plants that remain around the gardens. However, this takes a long time and a lot of money, so this project is unlikely to be completed for several years.
As well as this, over the winter we will be lowering the hedges and planting new boarders around the Doric Temple and Shephards Monument. We will also be removing a fallen tree in front of the Chinese House, meaning that you can have a clear view of all of our special monuments when you stroll around the grounds.
