Doggy Weekend
This weekend, March 11th & 12th, visitors of the National Botanic Garden will be able to bring their dogs with them for a visit. Make a day of it at the Garden and bring man’s best friend to enjoy the Garden’s 568 acres.
Due to huge popular demand, special dates have been earmarked in the calendar for pet owners to bring their pooches with them on a visit.
And don’t forget, EVERY Monday is Doggy Day at the Garden, therefore, you can bring your dog along for a visit on March 13th, 20th and 27th!
A full list of Doggy Day rules can be seen here. Dogs are permitted in Y Pot Blodyn’s coffee shop, the Seasons Restaurant, the Gift Shop and the main concourse of the Great Glasshouse.
Dogs are not permitted on the Great Glasshouse’s inner paths, the Butterfly House, nor the children’s play area.
