Garden Visit - Llanover Gardens

The cost is £18 per HPS member (£22 per non-member). This includes entrance to the Garden, a brief introduction to the history of the family and garden, and a guided tour of the 16 acre garden, followed by home-made cakes with unlimited cups of tea or filter coffee.

An exclusive opportunity for members to participate in a tour of these beautiful and varied gardens, accompanied by the head gardener. A great opportunity to socialise!

Llanover is set in the Usk Valley beneath the Black Mountains in Monmouthshire, South Wales. The 18-acre Grade II listed garden, set within a beautiful park, features a walled Round Garden, two Arboreta and extensive herbaceous borders and lawns. The Rhyd-y-Meirch (Ford of the Stallions) stream flows the entire length of the garden, tumbling into ponds, over cascades and beneath flagstone bridges.

Llanover Garden was established in the late 18th century by Benjamin Waddington, the great-great-great-great grandfather of the present owner, Elizabeth Murray. Visitors can admire the magnificent London Plane trees planted over 200 years ago, and the unusual trees and shrubs planted between 1960 and 1999 by Elizabeth’s father Robin Herbert CBE VMH, a former President of the Royal Horticultural Society.

An exceptional garden featured in gardening televisions shows and many garden magazine articles.
