Be introduced to the Rhododendron collection at Leonardslee Led by our avid naturalist and gardener Elliot Chandler, as he includes a closer look at the many varied and unusual species of Rhododendron that have been planted in the gardens over the last two centuries. Many of these were collected by plant hunters from around the world; including China, Japan, India and North America.
