Sir
Harold Hillier Gardens (formerly known as the Hillier Arboretum)
hold one of the greatest collections of hardy trees and
shrubs in
the world. Started by the late Sir Harold Hillier in 1953 and
given in trust to Hampshire County Council in 1977, the Gardens
now extend to 180 acres.
Within this unique collection of more than 42,000 plants (12,500
different types), visitors will find much of interest throughout
the year.
To discover whether a particular plant or group of plants is
