Welsh National Botanical Gardens

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.
