History

Plant hunting and Dyffryn Gardens

Dyffryn has a very unique collection of plants that have been gathered from plant hunting forays all over the world.

The industry that made Dyffryn possible

The house and gardens at Dyffryn were built on wealth accumulated from the industrial revolution.

We need your support

For 125 years, people like you have helped us protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.
