Isabella Plantation Small Leaves 2022 The Isabella Plantation is a 40 acre woodland garden set within a Victorian woodland plantation planted in the 1830's. First opened to the public in 1953, it is best known for its evergreen azaleas. I collected these leaves from the various trees/plants that we're around the vicinity of the plantation. Spending hours looking at the detailed designs, texture and smell was such a breathtaking experience. The leaves will be preserved by being laminated. In due time the history of my experience will be captured and passed through time. Located in the gardens are the National Collection of Wilson 50 Kurume Azaelas (introduced to the west from Japan in the 1920's by the plant collector Ernest Wilson), large collections of Rhododendrons and Camellias, plus many other rare and unusual trees and shrubs which provide interest all year round. Part of the parklands conservation designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the site is managed very much with nature in mind and the gardens are run on organic principles.
