Camellia House

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.
