July in the Garden: Summer Jobs and Seasonal Inspiration
While July is a month to sit back and appreciate your outdoor space, there are still plenty of simple jobs to keep your garden looking its best throughout the summer…
Westonbirt Partnership Update: From 1st July 2026, the reciprocal admission arrangement between Batsford Arboretum and Westonbirt Arboretum has changed. Please click here to read our latest update for details of the new 2-for-1 admission benefit and what it means for members visiting either arboretum.
Children’s Play Area: The play area is currently open. Please note that during periods of very hot weather, it may need to close at short notice if the equipment becomes too hot to use safely. Thank you for your understanding.
Batsford Arboretum is home to a unique collection of some of the world’s most beautiful and rare trees, shrubs and bamboos spread across 60 acres.
Enjoy early colour from the snowdrops, followed by spring-flowering bulbs and spectacular Japanese flowering cherries; escape the heat under the tree canopy in summer and prepare to be amazed by the outstanding autumn colour!


If visiting the arboretum inspires you, explore Batsford Garden Centre, a haven for garden and plant lovers! Enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or coffee at The Garden Terrace Café and catch some retail therapy at the Arboretum Gift Shop.
The Visitor Centre – where you’ll find the Café, Garden Centre and Gift Shop – is completely free to enter. The only part of Batsford you have to pay to go into is the arboretum.
Batsford is a great day out for all the family. Dogs are very welcome on short, fixed leads.
