Free Entries for Dads to National Botanic Garden of Wales

Dads go free to National Botanic Garden of Wales on 15th June 2008, Sunday.

Dad’s money is guaranteed to go further on Father’s Day at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

All dads are allowed in Carmarthenshire’s No 1 visitor attraction on Sunday June 15 – free of charge.

Head of marketing at the Garden, David Hardy, said: “Mums go free on Mother’s Day so I think dads would have our guts for garters if we didn’t make them the same offer.

“It really is the perfect chance for the kids to treat dad to a slap-up Sunday lunch at our award-winning licensed restaurant – and then walk it off around these beautiful Gardens.”

Right now, there is so much to see. In the Great Glasshouse, there is still time to see the beautiful king protea – the national flower of South Africa – in full bloom and a couple of the truly spectacular puya plants, the famous and spiky llama-eating species from Chile.
Things are getting hot and steamy in the Tropical House, where you will find cardamom and coconuts, pineapples and palms as well as dozens of orchids.


In addition to the fantastic flora, there is also the exhibition in the Courtyard Gallery entitled Images of the Apiary, which tells the story of bees and features a whole range of art works from oil paintings to stained glass and ceramics.

The Father’s Day menu also includes musical entertainment.

The Garden is open from 10am until 6pm, with last admission at 5.
