PGG visit to Llanover Garden and Highfield Farm Garden
Llanover Garden
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.
Highfield Farm Garden
Highfield Farm is a garden defined by its plants. There are over 1,200 cultivars, with many rarities, densely planted over three acres to generate an exuberant display across the seasons. It provides an intimate, immersive experience with a diverse array of herbaceous, shrubs and trees. Highfield Farm was voted as The Nation’s Favourite Garden in Wales and the Borders in The English Garden magazine poll in 2023.
