Botanica sets out to show different styles
of gardens you can create, with a plant shop, garden centre,
refreshments, and lots of information about the plants from
interactive displays.
In 4 hectares you will see 4000 varieties of perennials,
shrubs and trees carefully blended to make a landscape with
new interest round every corner.
The chalk hills of the "Seven Valleys" area are well-suited
to gardening. There are several other gardens open to the
public in the area.

...We
visited the gardens a few years ago. It is a worthy project
with much of interest for the keen gardener. However,
we felt that they were probably short of workers as some of
the beds were rather weedy. Hopefully things may have
improved since then...
