Weʼre raising £1,000 to maintain our unique hydrangea garden in 2021 and 2022. The garden is run by volunteers and is dependent on donations just to keep going.

Story

Hydrangea Derby volunteers maintain the hydrangea garden in Darley Park where we grow more hydrangeas than anywhere else in the UK. Volunteers work in the garden every week from March to November. Guided by Plant Heritage, we also identify, document and preserve the national collection of Hydrangea paniculata within the garden. Hydrangea Derby is completely self-funded and needs your help to continue to keep the garden looking beautiful for our visitors from all over the country.

We would like to thank everyone who kindly gave us a donation in 2021. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to buy new varieties to add to the National Collection of Hydrangea paniculata. We hope to add more exciting new varieties in 2022, and to purchase some of the best examples of new macrophylla varieties (mopheads and lacecaps) to showcase in the garden.

Thank you so much to our visitors who have already made a donation this year, bringing our total funds to £100 raised by the end of August. Unfortunately we have had to set up a new page in September, meaning the generous gifts donated so far are no longer visible.
