About the garden

Set in the beautiful Tywi Valley of Carmarthenshire, Aberglasney is one of Wales’ finest gardens. At the heart of this historic site is a fully restored Elizabethan Cloister Garden, and beyond this, visitors will find more than 20 different garden styles, ranging from formal to exotic, as well as natural woodlands and meadows.

Great care and thought have gone into developing a garden for all seasons. Late winter brings sheets of snowdrops, crocus and many other winter-flowering bulbs, accompanied by cyclamens, hellebores and witch hazel. Spring is a symphony of colour and interest, with magnolias and tulips. Wales’ national flower is also celebrated with a collection of more than 450 varieties of daffodils.

Mid-and-late spring brings additional specialities like the iris and horse chestnut collections and huge drifts of Camassia and Allium. Midsummer sees rare and heritage roses, innovative bedding displays and large numbers of tender perennials and annuals. There are also specific features to enjoy, such as the rose arbour, Malus arbour, a yew tunnel and a kitchen garden.
