Bodnant Garden
Bodnant Garden was established in 1874 by scientist, businessman and politician Henry Pochin, he and his family filled the garden with plants collected by famous global explorers. Today it is home to exotic plants from the Blue Poppy of the Himalayas to the Fire Bush of the Andes. It is also boasts Wales’ largest collection of UK Champion Trees, which provide a year-round spectacle. In spring, enjoy swathes of daffodils, camellias, magnolias, and rhododendrons; the heady sight and scent of roses, lily ponds, herbaceous beds and buzzing wildflower meadows in summer; a kaleidoscope of rich leaf colour in autumn; and sparkling, frosted landscapes in winter.
