Our LargestGarden Room
The Winter Garden is the largest and, considered by many, as the best garden here at Pinetum. It offers all-year interest through an innovative planting scheme that has been adapted by many visitors for their own gardens.
Whether you visit in the depths of winter or the height of summer, the Winter Garden reveals different beauty with each season.
What Makes ItAward-Winning?
Stunning Bark
Carefully selected trees with ornamental bark create year-round color: coral, white, cinnamon, and mahogany tones catch winter light beautifully.
Winter Flowers
Scented winter-flowering shrubs including witch hazel, wintersweet, and mahonia fill the air with fragrance when most gardens are dormant.
Evergreen Structure
A backbone of evergreen plants provides structure and color throughout the year, creating the perfect canvas for seasonal highlights.
Berry Displays
Vibrant red, orange, and yellow berries persist through winter, providing food for wildlife and color for visitors.
Spiral Design
The 3-acre garden is designed in a rose-pattern spiral, drawing you through layers of texture and color as you explore.

The planting scheme has been adapted by many visitors for their own gardens. Take photos and notes – we're here to inspire.
