16 acres of lovingly cultivated grounds and greenhouses display a wide variety of features and environments. The formal planting centres around a restored Edwardian garden. Other planting includes an arboretum, a herb garden, woodland and herbaceous borders, rock gardens, a water garden, special collections of Skimmia, Aubrieta, and hardy Fuchsia, and a series of glasshouses displaying temperate and tropical plants, alpines and succulents. This garden one of the most diverse in the region. It is the perfect place for a pleasant walk and there are benches for those who simply wish to relax and admire the surroundings. Variety is the key to this garden's strength.

On the outskirts of Leicester, yards away from a busy main road, huge supermarket, and Oadby Town, this beautifully kept garden is well worth a visit at any time of the year. Plenty of (free!!) roadside parking near the gates, information leaflets, boards, and labels on everything, make it an interesting visit, with plenty of seats when you need a break.

We have visited with our two young sons quite a lot recently (aged 2 and 4), who love exploring the woodland areas and kicking through the fallen leaves. Our oldest son loved collecting things for a show and tell art project. The two play areas are also great, quite a bit that our boys can do - although the toddler swings require some muscle to push! We tend to park on the residential street on the south side of the park and walk across the playing fields, but there is always somewhere to park close by.

A beautiful park in the spring, stunning blossom trees line the avenue along one side. The weather was fabulous this Easter weekend and it was a great place to take the daily exercise allowed. Everyone there was being respectful of each other and keeping to the restrictions. All the different areas of the park have been well cared for making it a pleasure to walk through.
