Unlike many successful gardens, Cae Hir has never had the benefit of financial support or backing by anyone other than immediate family. It is a testament to him and his wife Gillian that, through thick and thin, success has prevailed.
In 2004, after having been featured many times on national and local TV, local radio, in national and local newspapers, magazines and gardening publications, Cae Hir was invited by the Royal Horticultural Society to become one of its Partner Gardens, one of only a few in Wales to be given this accolade.
Now at retirement age, Wil is handing over Cae Hir Gardens to his children. It is truly a family business, ensuring you will always receive a warm welcome!

I have visited this garden at various times and seasons throughout the years since it first opened, and truly believe it to be one of the most inspiring and original gardens in the country. The creativity of Wil Akkermans abounds throughout, sometimes in astonishingly simple ways which make you think, "why did I never think of that?"!
You are always given the heartiest and warmest of welcomes, and will leave feeling uplifted and refreshed.
This is a glorious garden, in a glorious part of the country, which everyone should visit.
