About Gelli Uchaf

Our garden of about 1½ acres has been created over the 30 years that we have owned and restored our previously derelict Welsh longhouse. It is at the centre of a working smallholding 800 feet above sea level with wonderful views. The garden has several distinct areas around the stone and slate buildings, each with its own character and planting theme. It has been created to complement its setting, be productive, and act as a haven for wildlife.

We have several small plant collections & we particularly like intermingled plantings and the incorporation of native plants into these schemes; we follow a mainly organic approach. We plant for year round flower interest, from hundreds of thousands of snowdrops (over 200 cultivars & unique Welsh Snowdrop Collection), crocus, cyclamen, daffodils and many other bulbs in spring, woodland shrubs, clematis, rambling roses, hydrangeas and autumn flowering perennials. There is something new to see each year, we now have more woodland plantings and a unique Shepherds Hut to enjoy the extensive views.

We have become fascinated by the diversity of garden insects in addition to the butterflies, bumble and honey bees (we now have on-site hives) that visit our garden and those in our increasingly wild flower & fungi rich meadows through which visitors can walk. A few plants for sale.

There is much more information on our comprehensive website (https://www.thegardenimpressionists.com). Visitors MUST BOOK IN BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT.
