Woodland Glen
The woodland glen has an a mixture of unusual trees, which is a hallmark of the Pleasaunce. In all, there are 230 trees, with many varieties. In the woodland glen alone there is an Indian Horse Chestnut, a paperbark maple, a strawberry tree and a ginkgo. Between the glen and the putting green is a metasequoia. The ground area is becoming a wildflower meadow. It receives its first cut only in mid-summer in order to allow flowers to seed; the grass cuttings are removed to reduce the fertility. It is hoped the old wildflower seeds remaining dormant will be encourageds to take hold.
