Treborth Botanical Garden

Treborth Botanic Garden covers an area of 18 hectares on the shores of the Menai Strait and has been owned by Bangor University since 1960. The garden comprises 15ha of native woodland, 2ha of species rich unimproved grassland and 1ha managed orchard and many mature trees and shrubs.

There are also six glasshouses of varying temperatures, with special collections including orchids, cacti, succulents and carnivorous plants. The outside garden has free access to the public at all times and the glasshouses are open at selected times when staff or volunteers are present.

Dog walkers are some of the most important visitors and supporters of Treborth; however, dogs can cause problems for the successful running of the garden, by causing damage to specimens in the beds, disturbance to wildlife (e.g. red squirrels in the woodland), and health risks from dog excrement.

Therefore, we ask that all dogs are kept on leads in all parts of the garden and woodland, and that dog mess is picked up and disposed of in the bins provided.
