About
Isabella Plantation is a beautifully maintained 40-acre woodland garden located within Richmond Park, known for its spectacular displays of azaleas, rhododendrons, and camellias
Insider Tips
Isabella Plantation is famous for its stunning collection of azaleas, rhododendrons, and camellias, particularly vibrant in the spring. The azalea season (usually in late April to early May) transforms the garden into a riot of color that is truly breathtaking
