More Info:

This area of Awbury Arboretum hosts the Scattergood Witch Hazel Memorial. It was named after married Awbury residents Henry and Sally Scattergood, two influential Quakers who helped preserve Awbury’s history. The memorial hosts many types of witch hazels; native and non-native, young and old. The oldest specimens date back to the early 20th century when the Scattergood family first planted a native Hamamelis virginiana. Newer ornamental varieties with purple, orange, red, and yellow blossoms have been added in recent years.
