National Garden Scheme

Member access as part of the National Garden Scheme.

Members pay £5 for entry where £2.50 goes to Glamorgan Smallholders and £2.50 goes to the National Garden Scheme. Please tell people at the gate that you are part of Glamorgan Smallholders. Entry is from 10am until 6.30pm.

Cream teas are available for an additional cost.

Stalls on site, if members would like to sell their products, there is no cost for the stall, but 10% of proceeds go to the NGS.

Those selling should arrive at 9.30am to set up, with time for a cuppa.

If anyone would like to donate a cake, it would be gratefully received.

If you are intending on visiting, here is a little bit of information about the gardens: Dyffryn hamlet is a hidden gem in the Vale of Glamorgan; despite the lack of a pub there is a fantastic community spirit. 

Yr Hen Felin: Beautiful cottage garden with stunning borders, breathtaking wildflower meadows, oak tree with surrounding bench, 200 year old pig sty, wishing well, secret garden with steps to river, lovingly tended vegetable garden and chickens. Mill stream running through garden with adjacent wildflowers. 

Swallow Barns: Cross the bridge over the river and pass under the weeping ash to enter Swallow Barns garden, a mature garden with packed herbaceous borders - formal and informal, orchard, hens, herb garden, lavender patio, willow arches leading to woodland walk and deep secluded pond. 

We welcome all visitors - old and new. 

Unprotected river access, children must be supervised in both gardens.
