Bedgebury prepares for winter



Winter colour in the dwarfs by the dog kennel.



Tiny fungi growing on one of the smallest of our NCCPG National Collections of Lawson Cypress. This one is called Chamaecyparis lawsonian 'Green Globe'. It was grown as a cutting in 1980 and is no bigger than a football even now. You can find it next to the gate by the dog kennel.




Spiders webs on the dwarf Picea abies next to the pond up from Marshall's Lake.



Beautiful white buds on Pinus thunbergii 'Thunder Head' at the end of Lady Mildred's Carriageway.



This Viburnum farreri at the end of Lady Mildred's Carriageway flowers in winter on naked stems and they are beautifully scented - have a sniff.
