There are literally hundreds of different varieties of plants dependant on the season including:

ï summer plants, fruit, edibles
The Arium Cafe sells a selection of locally-sourced food and drink including a kid’s lunch box. Sit back and enjoy your surroundings with stunning views of the plants in the glass house.
Kids can blow off some steam in the play area equipped with climbing frames, slides, an excavator and sand-pit situated next to the picnic area.
No visit is complete without a visit to the Arium Shop which sells a range of plant and gardening supplies including tools, bulbs, seeds, pots.
