In August, the beautiful displays at Bodnant Garden are something that draws in many tourists each year. At this point in the season, the summer blooms of herbaceous borders, roses, water lilies, clematis and all sorts of shrubs and climbing plants are still out. Also, since the weather is gradually transitioning to the autumn, visitors might also see a national collection of Eucryphias, something any plant enthusiast will consider a special treat.
The Garden offers many events during August such as children's storytelling activities, Shakespeare productions on the grounds, informative tours about the gardens themselves, bird exhibitions and demonstrations, and outdoor concerts.
Those visiting in August should check Bodnant Garden's extensive calendar in order to take advantage of specific events happening throughout the month.
