Llanover House Rare Plant Fair Nr Abergavenny
22nd September 2019 at 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
£5.00
A 15-acre listed garden and arboretum with lakes, streams and cascades, created by the Rhyd y Meirch stream as it flows through the garden. Unusual trees including several national champions, shrubs and flowers have been planted since 1790. It is likely that the landscaping trends of Capability Brown influenced the owners in the late 18th Century, as seen by plantings of stately London plane trees and beech which to this day, cast their shadows on the lawns and parkland.
The deep herbaceous borders in the unusual circular walled garden, with a dovecote topped by a Pike, have been designed to complement the autumnal hues of gold, red and orange enhancing the berries, barks and falling leaves.
Admission: £5.00 per adult, includes the Fair and Garden. Children under 16 Free.
CASH OR CHEQUE ONLY.
