Welcome to Hydrangea Derby

Hydrangea Derby was set up in 2010 by the Friends of Darley Open Spaces (FoDOS) to assist Derby City Council to maintain and extend this already large collection of Hydrangea.  It’s the largest in the UK and the third largest in the world!  You’ll also see us on Facebook and Twitter.

You will find information about:

• The Darley Park National Collection of Hydrangeas
• how to find us
• how you can help
• detailed descriptions of all the plants in the collection
• future plans for the collection
• events

Get involved!  Become a Volunteer.

If you would like to help out with the Darley Park National Collection of Hydrangeas, you could apply to become a volunteer!  Take a look at our Volunteer page for more details on how to help.
