Cowbridge Physic Gardens

In a little over two years the first physic garden to be created in Wales for several decades has been brought to fruition in the market town of Cowbridge.

Designed, constructed and delivered at a cost of just over £300,000, the project is a landmark scheme for Wales, and is expected to draw up to 20,000 visitors annually.

In its half-acre space the garden contains:

  • A central fountain:
  • Two summer houses;
  • A Pope’s urn;
  • An oak pergola;
  • A pleached hedge with Ogee arches;
  • A sundial;
  • Twelve planting beds- each one containing plants associated with a specific part of the human anatomy i.e stomach, heart, lungs, liver etc
  • More than 230 varieties of plants including trees, shrubs and roses;
  • Well over 5,500 plants;
  • A lawn;
  • 12 benches;
  • A stone built lectern topped by a stainless steel engraved description of the garden;
  • A potting shed and a mess room for volunteers.
