The Ernest Wilson Memorial Garden in Chipping Campden is a small, tranquil garden created in honor of the famous plant hunter Ernest 'Chinese' Wilson, who introduced hundreds of Asian plants to the West. The garden showcases many of Wilson's discoveries, including rare rhododendrons, magnolias, and lilies, arranged in a series of intimate, walled spaces. Visitors can enjoy the quiet beauty of the herbaceous borders, the lily pond, and the shaded seating areas. It's a hidden gem for horticulture enthusiasts and a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds.
