It is open daily in the warmer months; an admission fee is charged. The garden contains one of Europe's oldest bamboo Bamboos are a diverse group of evergreen perennial flowering plants making up the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family.

Fargesia Murielae
''Fargesia murielae'', the umbrella bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is a large, clump-forming evergreen bamboo, closely resembling '' Fargesia nitida'' in the same genus, but with yellow canes. Description Considered one of the most beautiful bamboos in cultivation, ''Fargesia murielae'' is native to the mountains of central China, introduced by Ernest Henry Wilson in 1913 and named after his daughter. Its common name "umbrella bamboo" describes the graceful weeping habit of this plant. It grows at elevations of . It usually grows up to , with a diameter of about 0.5 inch, and is hardy to . Its USDA plant hardiness zone is 5 through 9 which is not desirable in climates with high heat and humidity such as southeastern states. The leaves are longer than they are wide, have pointed ends, and are arranged singly along the leaf stem. It quickly forms a dense clump of closely spaced canes that are hard to see under a mass of foliage. The new shoots ar ...

Bambusa Multiplex "Elegans"
''Bambusa'' is a large genus of clumping bamboos. Most species of ''Bambusa'' are rather large, with numerous branches emerging from the nodes, and one or two much larger than the rest. The branches can be as long as 11 m (35 ft). They are native to Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, Taiwan, the Himalayas, New Guinea, Melanesia, and the Northern Territory of Australia. They are also reportedly naturalized in other regions, e.g. Africa, Americas, and various oceanic islands.

Shibataea Kumasaca
''Shibataea kumasaca'' (倭竹), the ruscus-leaf bamboo or ruscus bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family, native to mountain slopes in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in China, and widely cultivated elsewhere. Growing to tall, it is a compact, clump-forming evergreen bamboo. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. As with other cultivated bamboos it can become invasive in favourable conditions, via its creeping rootstock. Japanese synonym Two groups around the world have different beliefs about the correct name of this species. Some cite Japanese origins with the correct name being ''Shibataea kumasasa''. Another group refers to it as ''Shibataea kumasaca'', the Latinized name Latinisation (or Latinization) of names, also known as onomastic Latinisation, is the practice of rendering a ''non''-Latin name in a Latin style. It is commonly found with historical proper names, including personal names and toponyms, and ...

Pleioblastus Viridistriatuss "Vagans"
''Pleioblastus'' is an East Asian genus of monopodial bamboos in the grass family Poaceae. They are native to China and Japan, and naturalized in scattered places in Korea, Europe, New Zealand, and the Western Hemisphere. The plant spreads by vigorous underground rhizomes which run along just beneath the soil surface, producing plantlets at the nodes. These can be used to propagate new plants, but if not removed they can become invasive. The species ''Pleioblastus variegatus'' (green and cream stripes), and ''P. viridistriatus'' (green and yellow stripes) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Genetic research suggests that this genus may properly be part of the genus ''Arundinaria''. ;Species ;formerly included see ''Acidosasa Ampelocalamus Chimonocalamus Drepanostachyum Oligostachyum Pseudosasa Sasaella Sinobambusa Yushania ''Yushania'' is a genus of bamboo in the grass family.
