Garden Tours

Arboretum Lifestyle and Garden Centre has created a new and exciting display garden to inspire the modern day customer. Helping visitors to create their own dreams while showing them that gardening is both stylish and fun, this new showpiece allows people to see that gardening can be enjoyed in any busy lifestyle. The concept behind this design was to create a garden that is easy to care for, demands low maintenance and delivers endless enjoyment. Designed to inspire visitors on planting schemes and solutions, the garden offers endless ideas that can be easily re created in visitors own homes.

Gardening today is closely related to fashion and trends and keeping this in mind we have used modern materials while at the same time not forgetting that plants are the core element of any good garden design. In creating the new display garden we realised that children are an integral part of design regarding safety and fun. Keeping this in mind the team at Arboretum included a children’s maze which will be a maximum height of 1M. 

This is located beside our new terraced area of Mulberry’s Restaurant. The reason behind this is that children can play while parents enjoy some of Mulberry’s fine food. Families can pay a visit also to our fun and friendly mud hut or visit the friendly koi who live in the pond. A visit to the garden is a treat for the amateur or the enthusiast and they will enjoy seeing the themed planting, use of colour, texture and form.
