Garden Tours of Wales

Welsh gardens differ from English gardens more as a consequence of climate than of the Celtic design tradition. Because the country is more upland and more westerly it is wetter and windier than England. This favours the growth of rhododendrons and ericaceous plants.

Many garden tour companies operate in Britain with the main groups of operators being based in the UK and the USA. The UK operators tend to be lower priced but do not organise travel to Britain and are likely to use larger vehicles. Independent travellers can visit many gardens, but by no means all, using public transport. Car hire is also easy. One of the difficulties for the independent traveller is that many gardens are open only on a few days per week and only in the afternoon. This makes it difficult to visit as many gardens in a day as might appear possible from their geographical proximity.
