A Beautiful Exotic Garden Tour in Wales, Dyffryn Fernant

Today's video is a tour of an amazing garden on the West Coast of Wales, Dyffryn Fernant. A mile away from the Fishguard cliffs, this beautiful lush garden is full of all kinds of exotic planting in a picturesque countryside setting. Highlights for me were the Gunnera, the tree ferns but most of all, the exotic courtyard area filled with Aeoniums, Agaves, Aloes, Echiums, Tetrapanax and so much more. Many thanks to Christina Shand for letting me have a wander round the garden for a couple of hours after closing with basically no notice!
