Starting work on the Arena of Plants

 

The end of September 2012. The weather is favourable so a start is being made on the winter project of digging out and laying the pathways through the area known as The Arena of Plants.  Tim Marshall, Head Gardener is on the digger. This is the way all the pathways were made through what is now the Vegetable and Cut Flower garden behind the wall seen in the video. By the end of next year 2013 this 'arena' will have been transformed and visitors will be able to stroll through the exotic trees and shrubs that have now become established.
