The name is quite a mouthful but the simple beauty

The name is quite a mouthful but the simple beauty of this tree in our Long Border is stunning - especially at this time of year. Aesculus x neglecta 'Erythroblastos' or the Caroline Horse chestnut. It's not that difficult to remember in fact, as in botanical latin, the word erythro simply means red. Blastos means bud or sprout.
The Gardens are now closed to the public for the season until Spring but if you want to keep informed of events or learn what's going on busily behind ths scenes please sign up to our website for news and to receive our quarterly e-newsletter. 🍂

Don't miss today, Wednesday 29th September, as it's the last opportunity to visit our Gardens this season. Don't miss the fabulous Long border packed with hydrangeas and herbaceous perennials, the Mill Stream borders with their royal ferns and the Arboretum with a carpet of cyclamen emerging.
The Main Lawns are looking magnificent and the fountains in the pools continue playing. Avenues of statuesque lime trees and our famous wobbly yew hedges all await!
Rare breed animals in the paddocks and tempting shopping in the Courtyard. On top of all that it's food night in @melbournehallcourtyard from 4pm.
Garden Gates open at 1 pm ! Please see our website and subscribe to be kept in the know of future events. ⛲️
