Spring at Leonardslee
May brings an explosion of colour and scent to meet every mood - from the majestic rhododendrons and azaleas to the towering magnolias, Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens offers a spring experience like no other.
At every turn, you will find flowers in so many different colours and shapes - all against the backdrop of new leaves beginning to bud among the trees. It is astonishing to see these colours of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and more reflected in the lakes. With Leonardslee Lates, you’ll be able to explore our beautiful garden like never before.
