Welsh Gardens

All across Wales you will find stunning gardens, many of which have have been restored by the National Trust, and they contain an array of exotic flowers and plants to excite garden enthusiasts and nature lovers. Due to Wales' location on the west of Great Britain, it is more upland, wetter and windier than England which favours the growth of plants such as heathers, rhododendron and camellia.
