Ed Dolphin

Sidmouth’s World of Trees

Sidmouth has a remarkable international treescape. If you pick
just one point and stand on the lawn terrace in the garden of The
Knowle you get a world tour of a view with trees from China,
Portugal, the Balkans, California, Persia, New England, Louisiana
and Ireland. Trees of other nationalities can be seen all around the
town. Ed Dolphin will present highlights from his new book,
Sidmouth's World of Trees, written jointly for Sidmouth Arboretum
and the SVA, which explores the origins of some of these trees and
how they came to live in Sidmouth.
