Spring has come remarkably early this year, which means the displays of Rhododendrons, Pieris, Cornus and Hydrangeas at Llysdinam Gardens and the lilies, hostas and cammassias beneath them should be spectacular when we visit on 14 May.   The gardens are not generally open to the public so this event is a special opportunity for CMS Members to be shown around by Head Gardener Becky Keeble­-Payne, with tea and cakes afterwards.  Spaces are limited to 25.  There is a charge of £15 per person, payable to the Llysdinam team on the day.

Evolving from the 1850’s with a walled kitchen garden and beautifully planted grounds surrounding Llysdinam Hall, it has been in continuous use by the same family for 150 years. The gardens are now run by the Llysdinam Trust who are working to maintain its historical importance whilst developing it further as a garden.

The 20 acre garden is romantic and naturalistic in style and includes mixed Herbaceous Borders, a Shrubbery, Bog Garden, Woodland walks and newly restored Lakeside planting.  What better way to spend a Thursday afternoon?
