Welcome
Welcome to the Richard Murcott Garden Web site. These
pictures hardly do justice to the years of work that Rich Murcott has put into
his beautiful garden, but it provides the visitor with a taste of what to
look forward to next Spring. The garden itself contains all kinds of plants:
ferns, pines, Chyrsanthemums, hollies, and perenials, but the main focus is
on Rhododendrons. Rich has purposely left the garden very natural and open.
There are paths through the garden, but they are not designed to be intrusive to
the flower areas. They are covered with woodchips and aren't separated
from the flower beds themselves. A tour by Rich usually includes walking among
the flowers themselves and looking at the leaves, branches, flowers of each
Rhododendron.
The environment of the garden is also very special. Many of the rhododendrons
are fragrant, so there is a sweet smell of flowers throughout the property. The
trees offer a welcome break from the hot sun during the hot summer. There are
many birds that fill the air with their chirping during the day, who are then
relieved by the crickets at night who continue the music.
The garden is broken up into three main areas - the front, back and "back back".
The history section of the site goes into greater detail of the garden's layout.
The site is broken down into a four main sections:
