Bodnant Garden Centre, which we are delighted to announce has recently been leased to the National Trust, is in the historic walled kitchen garden of Bodnant Hall. The Garden Centre is a special place to buy plants, books and gifts. In the Craft Studios, housed in the old potting sheds, you can discover a myriad of local craft traders' work and an Art Gallery showcasing and supporting local artists. You can also find the Magnolia Café and National Trust Pre-loved Bookshop within the Garden Centre.

Opening hours are 1000-1700 hrs every day.

The comprehensive and fascinating book about the history of Bodnant Garden by Iona McLaren, is also available to buy there.

Delve into the history of Bodnant Garden, its legacy handed down through generations of the family who have lived there since the 19th century. Discover how the garden, in its glorious position overlooking the River Conwy and enjoyed by so many visitors in the 21st century, came into being. Explore in detail the wonderfully designed grounds on a captivating and fully illustrated tour. Meet along the way the 20th-century plant hunters who strived to bring from foreign climes the rhododendrons for which Bodnant is now famed, and the green-fingered gardeners, past and present, whose labours have made the garden what it is today.

Written and researched by Iona McLaren, whose great-great-great grandfather purchased Bodnant in 1874.
