Routes to Roots at Wentworth Castle Gardens

Heritage Open Day: Experience the challenges faced by plant hunters as they forged new routes across the globe in pursuit of plants.
Discover which familiar plants came from faraway places to root on this Barnsley estate. Discover how plants, now firmly rooted as garden favourites, were once regarded as foreign and exotic.

Get hands on with the challenges faced by centuries of plant hunters as they strove to open up new routes across the world and to bring home new introductions to root in this country.

Test your skills at identifying, describing, navigating and recording plants. Would you make the grade?
