Exploring the Extraordinary Garden of Compton Acres, Poole, Dorset, UK in 4K 60fps. 🎧 Best with headphones for an immersive experience.

This video features the stunning 'Into The Wild' Sculpture Exhibition showcasing 35 exotic animals and native wildlife sculptures from 11 different artists which are all available for purchase. The prices of these sculptures range from £650 ( 'Reclining Hare' ) to £17,460 ( 'Deep Blue Sea' by Elliott Of London ).

Compton Acres is home to over 3,000 plant species, some found nowhere else in the county. Compton Acres has almost 10 acres of gardens with a superb mix of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants.

The Wooded Valley
The Wooded Valley features open glades planted with bluebells, foxgloves, and other woodlanders. The Wooded Valley is magnificent in the spring, with lush Camelias nestled among delicate rhododendrons. The Wooded Valley, on the other hand, is a year-round delight!

The Heather Garden
The Heather Garden has been cleared and replanted on a regular basis, with thousands of new plants introduced each season. The gardens are vivid in all seasons, but they are at their best in winter and late summer. Acacia Pravissima and Sophora Sun King bloom in the spring, whereas Grevillea 'Canberra Gem' and G. Victoriae bloom in the winter.

The Italian Garden
The Italian Gardens, which are classically fashioned and filled with large sculptures, a spectacular topiary, and an ornamental pool, are a year-round attraction. The garden's grandeur is enhanced with colourful seasonal bedding. Clipped yews, clematis swags, and stately Chusan and Dwarf Fan Palms are among the stunning plants on display.

Rock and Water Gardens
The Rock and Water Garden is a fine example of 1920s landscape design and construction, with over 200 distinct species and 2000 dwarf spring bulbs. These plants can be seen all year.

The Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden, designed in the classic style of Japan's famous water gardens, is supplemented with many azaleas, with a traditional wooden Tea House that is wisteria draped in May. The garden also has some lovely gnarled pines and a weeping Hemlock.
