We are very fortunate to have Mr Ray Abraham as our Head Gardener, who joined us from Steane Park in Northamptonshire. He has extensive experience & a wealth of knowledge of rhododendron gardens. On the broader front, he spent 18 months travelling around the world working in gardens wherever he went. This included Canada, Denver, Australia and New Zealand.

 

Ray is keen to continue developing contacts with local gardening groups, and leading garden tours.

 

We are all very excited about developing Minterne Gardens and have agreed that the ethos here must continue unchanged. The gardens will remain quiet and secluded, with rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias shown in a similar environment as they were found in China by the 19th and 20th Century plant hunters.

 

Please check the website for details of regular garden walks with Ray during April & May.
