Burton Constable Arboretum plans

Jack Straker talks about The Constable family's is plans to rejuvenation of the Arboretum at Burton Constable Holiday Park. This arboretum, set up by John Constable from 2006, is partly inspired by the formal gardens of Versailles - but curiously each area is themed after a room or area in the big hall and house. Ie the Chapel Section, with trees from heaven, mirroring the footprint of the family's church. Then the kitchen, with flowering fruit trees. The project marks a 'rejuvenation' for the 30 acre site, with grand plans to inject new life into it, inviting in community groups, schools, villagers etc, as well as revitalising the themed areas with new plants.
