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. It is shameful that there is only one gardener to look after the whole of the Park, so the plants are suffering. Volunteers who belong to The Friends of Wollaton Park (link goes to their Facebook page) are doing their best to tend the Camellias, but it is a timetaking task. Do get in touch if you'd like to help. It's only a 5 minute walk from The Botanic Garden. Useful Links Mount Edgcumbe House, home of the National Camellia Collection The Camellia House is listed Grade II*, and Wollaton Park is Grade II* on the English Heritage Register of parks and gardens of special interest.
