Earlswood Lakes provides
an ideal environment for many species of plants |

Ferns |
Many varieties of
plant and tree life can be found in and around the shores of the
lakes and the water channels. Plants such as Angelica, Great Willowherb,
Amphibious Bisort, Betony, Gipsywort and Yellow Flag Iris are all
common to the area.
You may also find a few surprises, a Privet hedge that once surrounded
Terry's Pool now grows wild as do some of the plants Bill Dolphin
(former water bailiff - see history page) grew in his garden when
he was resident at the Boat House. Around the remains of the Boat
House look out for Lilac, Conifer and Laurel.
Many water loving Willow Trees can be seen around the lakes, these
are managed to promote new growth and more Willow trees.
