- Booking essential

On Tuesday 19th November join senior Dyffryn gardeners on a tour of the Gardeners Yard. This is an exclusive opportunity to see an area of Dyffryn never before open to visitors. It's where gardeners nurture an extensive nursery and undertake a large amount of plant cultivation.
It's also a great opportunity to find out what it takes to look after a garden like Dyffryn, what jobs the team have to undertake to keep it healthy and thriving and what planting challenges they face, especially in the rapidly changing environment that climate change has caused. Your tour leader will also be able to answer any gardening questions you have which may help you in cultivating your own green spaces.
Tickets cost £5 per person (admission also applies) and numbers are limited at 15 participants. The tour starts at 11am and lasts for one hour.
