Introduction
Spetchley Park Gardens near Worcester covers approximately 30 acres, and contains one of the best collections of plants in the country. It has the distinction of being one of the first three gardens opened under the National Garden Scheme in 1924, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of late Victorian design.
This will be a good time to see the carpets of naturalised bulbs in full flower and to catch the early flowering Magnolias. Flowering cherries, Trilliums and many of the early flowering shrubs will also be looking good.
