Plants
The Bodnant Plant, Gift and Craft Centre sells a wide range
of plants, specialising in unusual shrubs, many of them propagated
by Bodnant Garden Nursery Ltd. from stock at Bodnant Garden.
Many rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, including hybrids
originally made at Bodnant, can be bought here. Also for sale
are many of the more popular plants, such as herbaceous and
bedding plants, herbs, climbers, etc.
There is a home delivery service, so that
plants chosen on your visit to the shop can be delivered to
your home.
There is also a mail order service for internet,
e-mail or postal orders. A complete list of all plants available
for sale, as well as an on-line order form, can be found on

of trees, garlands, baubles and lots of ideas for presents
and stocking fillers.
