Rhododendron Celebration at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens

Day Trip - AS2104


Live Life in Full Bloom and join us for a celebration of spring at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens as they showcase the beauty of their famous rhododendrons. Each spring, the gardens burst into life, showcasing one of the UK’s most expansive collections, with over 300 species and hybrids of rhododendrons.

Wander through the historic landscape, where rhododendrons have flourished for over 200 years. Many of the rhododendrons hold ‘champion’ status with TROBI (Tree, Register of Britain & Ireland), marked by blue plaques to signify the tallest or largest of their kind in the country, Britain and Ireland, or even the world.

As you explore the gardens, pick up a self-guided trail to discover these award-winning rhododendrons, gathered from around the world over two centuries. With 64 distinct hybrids, including 32 under threat in cultivation and 17 unique to Leonardslee. The collection stands as a testament to Sir Edmund Loder’s vision and dedication to conservation. Keep an eye out for Loderi rhododendrons in the National Collection by spotting their plaques along the trail.
