The
Royal Horticultural Society Garden Rosemoor is acclaimed by gardeners throughout
the world, but you do not have to be a keen gardener to appreciate the beauty
and diversity of Rosemoor. Whatever the season, the Garden is a unique and
enchanting place that people return to time and time again.
Situated
on the west-facing slopes of the beautiful Torridge Valley, Rosemoor has become
one of the jewels in the West Country crown. Generously donated to the Society
by Lady Anne Palmer in 1988, Rosemoor is now established as a Garden of national
importance, famous for its variety and planting.
To
Lady Anne's collection of rare and interesting plants a wide range of varied
features have been added. They include a formal garden where the object is
to show an enormous selection of plants and planting schemes, and a series
of individual gardens such as the renowned Rose Gardens, Foliage Garden and
the popular Cottage, Square and Spiral Gardens (for hot and cool colours respectively),
and the Winter Garden with stunning effects in the colder months.
All
this, a Lake, a bamboo and fern planted rock gulley, and Arboretum, three
new Model Gardens, as well as a marvelous Fruit and Vegetable Garden make
a visit to Rosemoor essential.
