Give the gift of nature this Christmas

With Christmas fast approaching, it’s time to think about unique and meaningful gifts that give back to nature! One of the best ways to support the arboretum is membership with The Friends, making it the perfect gift for nature lovers. With year round access, your loved one can connect with nature while contributing directly to the conservation of one of Gloucestershire's most beautiful landscapes. What’s more, with membership, kids go free! That’s like five presents in one!

Psst… Members also receive free or reduced-price admission to selected other parks and gardens, expanding the opportunities for exploration and relaxation even further.

Order by 12 December for guaranteed Christmas delivery.
