Plasglasgwm were invited to become members of The National Garden Scheme in 2024.
We are proud to be able to host garden visits by arrangement and help raise money for charity.
The garden and grounds you now see at Plasglasgwm are the result of over thirty years of conservation, restoration and creation by the owners. Guided by local knowledge of this historic farm, we have been able to reinstate pathways, stone walling and gateways to help create a garden and grounds befitting a sixteenth century small holding.
Yew, Beech and Box hedging are a feature of the garden, with different terraces and areas bordered with hedges. Our box parterre was designed with a twist - planted adjacent to the 19th century pig sties, this parterre was designed with a vanishing point rather than the traditional symmetrical style, intended to lead the visitor down to the lower garden and beyond.
The original orchard has been cleared of Blackthorn and replanted with Welsh Apple trees, and work has started on raised beds for a kitchen garden area within the orchard.
New perimeter borders have been planted with Dog Rose, Bird Cherry, Cherry Plum and other woodland shrubs. Clearing and under-planting of the natural woodland areas is underway, and development of the stream margins with moisture loving planting continues.
The ongoing development of the garden and grounds is based on a vision of formal structure and form contrasting with the natural landscape and indigenous woodland. Planting is in the naturalistic style using locally sourced plants, alongside use of the borrowed landscape to result in as an authentic feeling garden as possible that sits well within it's environment.
