The Jungle Experience at Manor Heath Park and Gardens offers visitors a unique opportunity to encounter a tropical oasis packed with exotic plants, including grapefruit, coca and coffee. Visitors of all ages can uncover the mystery of fly catching plants or close their eyes and be carried away by atmospheric sounds and fragrances from hot and humid climates. Other services on the site include opportunities to hire floral displays and purchase hanging baskets or bedding plants, a special programme of summer events aimed at children, educational programmes for official school visits, meeting rooms available for hire. There is also a demonstration garden which includes a rockery, a Dahlia exhibition, a winter garden, a collection of Sidalceas and the Calder Valley Organic Gardeners Demonstration plot. The demonstration garden is constantly being developed, with one of our latest completed plots being a Mediterranean garden.
New projects planned include an old fashioned cottage border and ornamental herb garden.
