Bluebell Arboretum and Nursery
About the garden
Bluebell Arboretum and Nursery in Derbyshire boasts a fine collection of unusual trees and shrubs. Planting in the beautiful woodland garden began in 1992 and now spans nine acres. Although most of the large trees are still young, many of the shrubs and smaller trees already display their full beauty in form and habit, making the arboretum a scenic woodland walk with rare plant treasures on display that entice true enthusiasts.
Other features include cherry trees and magnolias for their spring flower display, lots of cool leafy shade for a relaxing walk on hot summer days, trees with excellent autumn colour and a collection of birch planted for their attractive winter bark. Educational signs are displayed throughout, providing detailed information about the unusual plants in the gardens.
