 convinced that trees were the most important plants in the world and these
  form the framework of the Garden. With a framework of mature trees and sh
 rubs\, this paradise of plants comprises diverse\, superbly landscaped set
 tings including: the Rock Garden\, representing the alpine plants from the
  mountains of every continent\; the Lake and Water Garden\, teeming with b
 ird life\; tropical rainforest\, the alpine house and seasonal displays in
  the Glasshouses\; and the historic Systematic Beds\, displaying 1600 hard
