This collection of named Magnolias, photographed by Chris Sanders VMH, show the amazing variety of form and colour that exist.

The grassed areas will be cut next month. Until then the long grass and meadows in the arboretum provide places for hares to hide in and hunting grounds for bees, birds and butterflies. These stunning photographs were taken on 5th July 2025.
