About The Place for Plants, East Bergholt Place Garden

20-acre garden and arboretum originally laid out at the turn of the last century by the present owner’s great grandfather. Described as a ‘Cornish Garden in Suffolk’ with its close proximity to the estuary, a high water table and acid soil this sloping garden looks particularly beautiful in the spring.

There is a fine collection of camellias, magnolias and rhododendrons as well as many unusual trees and shrubs seldom seen in East Anglia. Primroses and snake-head fritillaries can be seen in abundance and a couple of ornamental ponds and good examples of topiary surround the attractive walled garden that houses the specialist plant centre ‘The Place for Plants’. The Deciduous Euonymus collection and spectacular autumn fruits and colour give the garden a display in the autumn.
