WHAT ABOUT COLCHESTER?

Colchester is Britain’s oldest town, former capital of Roman Britain and has over 2,000 years of history ready to be explored. Despite all of this rich history, Colchester is also a thriving, 21st century town with a plethora of visitor attractions, and a multitude of places to eat and drink.  However, as proud local florists we feel it would be remiss of us not to mention a pioneering British botanist and something of a local hero. Beth Chatto who was educated nearby in the 1930s, was an author and garden designer who researched the origins of garden plants and flowers. She founded Beth Chatto Gardens, now known as Beth Chatto’s Plants & Gardens, which have Grade II listed status with National Heritage and are an informal collection of historically significant gardens. They are a prime example of sustainable planting and echo Mrs. Chatto’s primary ethos ‘right plant, right place’. It is little surprise that she is such an inspiration for our local florists and their promotion of ethically sourced, sustainable flowers. Having told a little of the industrious Mrs. Chatto’s tale, our team would like to give some of their top tips for local attractions and places to eat and drink in Colchester.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS 

COLCHESTER ZOO

A visit to the Zoo is fun for all the family and an opportunity to see many exotic and rare species, not to mention a range of diverse habitats. Some of the stand-out features are the daily feeding sessions and the 24m tunnel where sea lions swim overhead.

MERSEA ISLAND

Situated in the River Colne and home to the Colchester native oyster, this small scenic island is the perfect place for a visit.  In the west is a small fishing town with some sandy beaches whilst the east is more rural with open spaces and rugged shoreline.
