Link to Museum
of Welsh Life at the National Museum of Wales Site |
| From
the formal gardens of the privileged classes to the first organic
gardens that sustained a growing, working family, the gardens
at the Museum of Welsh Life are a fascinating and inspiring
horticultural attraction, offering a unique insight into social
history.
Stroll
through the picturesque grounds surrounding St Fagans Castle,
the restored Victorian rosery and parterre. Rest a while on
replicas of the original Plymouth garden seats above the magnificent
terraces sweeping down to reflective pools and ponds.
Compare
this spectacle with the cottage gardens where traditional
tools and techniques are used in the recreated domestic plots.
From rare and beautiful blooms to heirloom vegetables and
herbs - all at one of the best open air museums in Europe,
set in 100 acres of beautiful countryside.
