Isabella Plantation, Woodland garden in Richmond Park, London, United Kingdom
The Isabella Plantation extends across 40 acres within Richmond Park, featuring an array of streams, ponds, and carefully maintained lawns throughout its grounds.
Lord Sidmouth established the plantation in 1831 by enclosing 17 hectares of Isabella Slade, where oak, beech, and sweet chestnut trees were planted for timber.
The gardens contain the National Plant Collection of Wilson 50 Kurume Azaleas, which were introduced from Japan to western countries during the 1920s.
Two toilet facilities with wheelchair access and baby changing stations are available inside the garden, which remains open to visitors from dawn until dusk.
The garden maintains organic practices and incorporates native plants alongside exotic species, supporting over 130 butterfly and moth species throughout its grounds.
