The Botanic Garden at Wollaton is looking glorious in early Summer. Open Sundays 2-4pm (not 20th July) and Wed/Thu/Fri am if the gate is open.
We are lucky to hold keys to the Camellia House, however we do not look after the plants; they are maintained by the Parks Department of Nottingham City Council.
Volunteers who belong to The Friends of Wollaton Park (link goes to their Facebook page) have a new website and are doing their best to tend the Camellias, but it is a timetaking task. Do get in touch if you'd like to help.
The Camellia House was built in 1823 at the end of a major project to repair and remodel the Hall, home to the 6th Lord Middleton. It is a legacy of a time when camellias were an exotic introduction and thought to be tender.
It's only a 5 minute walk from The Botanic Garden.
