RHS Picton Castle Gardens
Picton Castle Gardens is a 13th-century castle surrounded by 60 acres of gardens in the Pembrokeshire National Park. Run by a registered charity, it has one of the largest collections of cultivated plants in West Wales, where exotic species co-exist with native flora.
In March, there are daffodils to be seen everywhere, and in April, a Peep-In-Walk provides rich diversity and colour. May peaks with the flowering of masses of rhododendrons, many bred at Picton. The historic, recently renovated Walled Garden follows with treasures such as a Myrtus avenue, Crinodendron and Eucryphia. New introductions of hydrangeas and fresh plantings help complement and provide autumn colour.

The winter garden is a relatively new addition and features stunning fiery red and orange dogwood. To the west of the castle are the avenues, dominated by two giant redwoods (Sequoiadendron giganteum) and two 300-year-old oaks. Rarities include the world's largest Rhododendron 'Old Port', Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans Compacta' (a conifer like a miniature forest) and a fine Metasequoia glyptostroboides (presumed extinct until rediscovered in China in 1941).
