    About

    The Plant Library is an extensive educational garden for anyone interested in plants and planting design: whether they be visiting students of horticulture, gardeners, garden designers or school children.

    There are over 1500 plant varieties arranged in a grid, where visitors can walk through and see different types of plants grouped together based on their needs (sunlight, moisture etc.). Each group has a QR code to help visitors identify over 1100 herbaceous plants and 400 varieties of bulbs. The library is constantly being updated with new plants and serves as a resource to learn about plant design and different species.
