These two Dawn Redwood sit on the edge of a car park adjacent to the Physic Garden.

The Physic Garden is a small plot, just over a quarter of an acre, that is freely open to the public. It was given to Hampshire Gardens Trust in 1988 by Major John Bowen and is partly laid out with beds of herbs in a formal geometric pattern typical of 17th century physic gardens. These were used by early Apothecarists to grow medicinal plants.
