Spend quality time in nature and be inspired by it in a whole new way through interacting with the large art installations in the grounds.
These multi-disciplinary art displays are "portals" through which you can embrace the natural world and view Dyffryn from new perspectives. They're completely unique and specially designed and built for Dyffryn Gardens by artist, Alison Neighbour.
20th Century artist, Edith Adie visited Dyffryn in the 1920s and painted several watercolours of the gardens which have been invaluable to the conservation and restoration work happening today. The original paintings are in the care of the Royal Horticultural Society, however, facsimiles of them will be dotted around the gardens so you can compare the landscape now with what Edith Adie would've seen and captured a century ago.
We’ll also be encouraging visitors to respond to the artwork by creating some of their own. You can borrow a Creative Kit from the Welcome Centre when you arrive, it includes water colour paper and paints as well as other craft supplies to help you capture the gardens in your own unique way. If you already have your own supplies, feel free to bring them with you, we welcome easels and camping chairs!
These art pieces celebrate the natural world and reveal the story of Dyffryn as a garden nature reserve. They focus on connectivity, horticulture and encouraging visitors to embrace and respond to the natural world around them.
