About the garden
An 800-year-old stately home set within 50 acres of historic gardens, Picton Castle is a haven for plant enthusiasts, nurtured by the mild Pembrokeshire climate.
The Walled Garden contains an eclectic range of plants that aim to provide colour from early spring through late autumn. Adjacent to it is an indoor fernery. In the Heritage Courtyard Garden, visitors can explore the history of the gardens, a herb and medicinal plant collection and a Wildlife Demonstration Garden. The Peach House Garden showcases an array of late-flowering perennials, including daisy relatives such as Rudbekia, Symphyotrichum and Helianthus.
Other highlights include the Jungle Garden with its riot of exotics, and the Jungle Boardwalk, which winds through towering Gunnera to an adventure playground and expansive woodland gardens. The Rhododendron collection contains numerous varieties bred at Picton Castle over the last 50 years.
