The National Botanic Garden of Wales – Part 3

As promised I will continue reporting on our visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales, featuring our wander around the fields, woods and lakes beyond the dome.

This fallen tree was Mother Nature’s sculpture working in collaboration with the weather. So beautiful!

We soon found a sculptural piece created by the hand of man. This is such a simple piece but it changes as you walk around it.

From the sculpture we waked down the gently sloping grassland towards the lake. As we reached the prairie type planting we came across this powerful piece of sculpture. He wasn’t very welcoming!

After enjoying the imaginative planting in this area we followed a mown pathway towards the lakeside, looking for interesting plants bearing fruits, lichen or flowers.

The pathway led us through the woodland and back towards the dome.

A retired primary school head teacher, I now spend much of my time gardening in our quarter acre plot in rural Shropshire south of Shrewsbury. I share my garden with Jude my wife a newly retired teacher , eight assorted chickens and a plethora of wildlife. Jude does all the heavy work as I have a damaged spine and right leg. We also garden on an allotment nearby. We are interested in all things related to gardens, green issues and wildlife.

A good sense of taking a walk with this set Malc. We visited once and don’t remember the longer walk.
