Gondwanaland

Area of the gardens devoted to trees and plants from the Southern Hemisphere, including the endangered Wollemi Pine, of which only 100 specimens are known to survive in the wild (according to the signboard).

 

The site was formerly a conifer plantation until it was devastated in the great storm of 1987 - truly, "it's an ill wind ..."!

 

Marks Hall Gardens & Arboretum, near Coggeshall, Essex.
