National Botanic Garden of Wales, Botanical garden in Llanarthney, United Kingdom.

The National Botanic Garden of Wales extends across 19 acres, featuring 5000 plant species and multiple specialized garden sections in Carmarthenshire's countryside.

William Paxton acquired the estate in 1789 and transformed it by creating an interconnected system of lakes and ponds around Middleton Hall.

The garden functions as an educational center, providing workshops and guided tours that demonstrate the connection between plants and traditional Welsh medicine.

Visitors can access different themed gardens, research facilities, and the Great Glasshouse, which contains Mediterranean plant collections from various global regions.

The Great Glasshouse measures 95 meters in length and features 785 glass panels, making it the largest single-span greenhouse structure in existence.
