Batsford Arboretum News & Events
Handkerchief Tree
This famous century old tree will be displaying its snow white handkerchief-like bracts from mid May to mid to late June. A tree many people travel a long way to see. Don’t miss it.
Gloucesterhire MG Owners Club
On 8th June we will be visited by around 120 MG cars from the Gloucestershire MG owners club. They will be parked in the arboretum car park from around 2.30pm when you will be welcome to view the cars and chat with the owners.

New to our Website
You can now see Batsford Arboretum through the eyes of our visitors. There is a website called flickr on which people who have visited us have placed their photos for anyone to see. The website is at www.flickr.com If you have a flickr account yourself and have visited us, if you tag your photos Batsford we will be able to view them too.
We would like to thank Mike Tayler who has kindly donated many of the photos of Batsford you will see on Flickr. He is a professional photographer and is available at m.tayler@macunlimited.net.

Plans for the new visitor centre have been put on temporary hold as an appeal has been lodged in the High Court regarding planning permission given by Cotswold District Council.
