Don't neglect the architecturally stunning glasshouse at the new
National Botanic Garden of Wales near Carmarthen: they run it as a
Mediterranean habitat, not a tropical one, and it's full of good
Australian etc stuff. They need all the support they can get, too,
not having had all the publicity bovril lavished on "Eden" and
others.


Went there on Easter Sunday. Its stunning.
It was threatened financially last year, but I hope it survives.
Being built away from large centres of population in an area that doesn't
get that much tourism means that their audience figures are inevitably
poor. They do indeed need all the support they can get.
