Walk with a Gardener - Scented plants

Join one of the garden team on a guided walk to explore Nature's perfumery.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join one of the garden team on a guided walk to explore Nature's perfumery.

Learn how and why plants are scented - and experience a variety of scents within the first part of the garden. These will include familiar scents used in perfumes, such as lavender and the Himalayan cedar, as well as more more unexpected scents like Clerodendrum trichotomum, sometimes called the peanut butter tree.

This easy and accesssible walk will focus on the first part of the visitor route - from the Visitor Reception to the café and through the John Arnold Garden.
