Discover the inner workings of the National Botanic Garden of Wales’ Science Department on this special behind-the-scenes tour.
Explore the Herbarium—housing some 30,000 pressed plant specimens, including a historic British and Irish flora collection, and hear about our National Lottery–funded digitisation project bringing these specimens online.
Continue to the National Seed Bank of Wales, which houses seeds from hundreds of Welsh floral species. Learn more about how we collect, clean, and store seed for long-term conservation, ensuring the survival of these species for decades to come.
