History
From 1906 to 1930, Reginald Cory and Thomas Mawson continued to develop, enhance and extend Dyffryn's gardens and in particular its woody plant collection. It is during this period that much of the Arboretum was established, with a collection of exotic and ornamental trees, shrubs and bamboos (running into hundreds) being carefully laid out beneath and within protective shelterbelts of over-storey trees and evergreen shrubs.
Just like Reginald Cory and Thomas Mawson ensured that this Arboretum would be a magnificent place for us, it is vital that we continue their hard work and develop this tree garden for future generations to enjoy.
