From the text: "The Woodland Garden was established in 1981. It comprises a collection of cool climate trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials predominately from the northern hemisphere. The pre-existing tree canopy of the native Turpentines and Paperbarks provided the required shade to establish this collection. Initial plantings included a range of exotic trees, including Magnolia, Maple and Dogwood. These trees now form the mostly deciduous canopy that allows light to penetrate in winter whilst filtering the harsh summer sun."
