Blossom Watch Walk at Dyffryn Gardens
Celebrate the coming of spring with this self-led exploration around all of Dyffryn's seasonal highlights
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
From March to May join #blossomwatch and look out for the signs of spring as different trees begin to blossom. Use our self-led Blossom Watch walk to find the best spring highlights. Whilst you’re on your wander, learn how to take great blossom photos with beautiful inspiration and lots of variety to practice on through our practical photography learning stations. Or borrow a free creative kit (which included sketch pad and watercolour paints) and respond to the beauty of nature through art.
Throughout the season, what you see on your walk will change depending on the time in the season you come. You'll start off seeing those happy little markers of change, Crocuses. And then of course the happiest (and most Welsh) of all flowers, Daffodils. As spring progresses you'll see Apricot blossom, Magnolia, Wisteria, and the famous Cherry blossom, so it's worth coming back a few times to experience the best of the whole season.
Pick-up the Blossom Watch Walk map at the Welcome Centre when you arrive and it will lead you around the best and most beautiful examples of spring flowers in our gardens. Keep it and keep coming back throughout spring to make sure you see it all.
There is no additional charge for the Blossom Watch Walk map (normal garden admission applies).
