The Explorers Garden in the Winter

The Explorers Garden is bursting with things to see in the winter. Join Keeper of the Living Collections Michael Dosmann for a walk around the Explorers Garden and Bussey Hill to see beautiful bark, interesting evergreens, and maybe even some winter-blooming flowers. From plumb yews to wintersweet, the Explorers Garden has a lot to offer this time of year.
