Welsh National Botanical Gardens

Listed under Parks in Wales, United Kingdom.

598 acres of the Towey Valley of Carmarthenshire belongs to the Welsh National Botanical Gardens and is covered with gardens, lakes and glasshouses growing a huge variety of plants and flowers. Described in a 19th catalogue as “richly ornamented by nature and greatly improved by art”, this land flourishes, fuelled by a focus on recycling and conservation.
