Today we went to The National Botanic Garden of Wales. About half an hours drive from where we are staying, the Botanic Gardens were opened in 2000 on the site of a once magnificent Regency Estate.
Many of the original features of the estate have been restored and retained whilst many new ones have been created including the giant glasshouse (biome).
There were many familiar flowers and also some which were less recognisable.
There were also some quite interesting garden features like this 'waterfall', one of a pair, called Scaladaqua Tonda which means 'Curving Water Steps'.
This 'Dragonfly on a Bulrush' sculpture was created using steel reclaimed from an industrial site in nearby Llanelli.
