Autumn colour Arboretum tour at Dyffryn Gardens
Celebrate one of the best aspects of autumn - the colour, on an Arboretum tour with Dyffryn Gardens' Head Arborist, Rory.
- Booking advisable
- Admission applies
Throughout the season join Head Arborist, Rory for a quintessentially autumnal ramble through the Arboretum, taking in the colour of the trees during this beautiful season.
Rory will take you around the most spectacular trees of the season, fill you in on the science behind the changes trees undergo in the autumn and answer any and all questions you have.
It's also a great opportunity to find out what it takes to look after a wooden area such as this, what jobs the team have to undertake to keep it healthy and thriving and what challenges they face, especially in the rapidly changing environment that climate change has caused.
This is a free tour (admission also applies) but we recommend booking a ticket to ensure your spot as tour numbers are limited at 20 participants. "Walk-ins" are also welcome on the day but we recommend reserving your space in advance to avoid disappointment. The tour starts at 11am and lasts for one hour.
