Tuesday Tree Walk

Join one of our Heritage guides on a one hour guided tour of the garden. Each month there will be a different subject, from 'Beautiful Bark' to 'Trees under threat' so there’s always something new to see. The walks are free, normal admission applies, otherwise all you need is appropriate clothing for the weather and sturdy walking shoes. There are limited spaces, available on a first come basis.

Upcoming dates:

Tuesday 9 September - 'Evolution'
