The National Botanic Garden of Wales has declared Friday September 12, 2014, to be “Meet the Neighbours day”, which means free entry for anyone able to prove they live in the SA31 postcode area.
This special ‘Postcode Day’ initiative includes key talks by Garden staff and behind-the-scenes tours.
Head of Marketing, David Hardy said: “We’ve held special days for people living in SA32, SA14 and SA15 and they have proved very popular. Quite rightly, a number of other people living near the Garden in a different postcodes have asked: ‘What about us?’ So, we’re hoping SA31 Day helps to address that issue.”
Mr Hardy added: “The idea is to really connect with people living near the Garden and to include them in our plans. There’s lots going on here at the moment and, to help communicate this, we’ve lined up a day-long schedule of talks, tours and other activities – including some which are not available to the general visitor.”
Some highlights of “SA31” are: an ‘Under the Great Glasshouse’ tour; a ‘Meet the Director’ session, ‘A Walk in the Med’ and a talk and tour around our Rock of Ages display. To claim your free entry, please bring along your council tax bill and other, separate (preferably photo) ID.
The Garden is open from 10am to 6pm. For more information, visit www.gardenofwales.org.uk email info@gardenofwales.org.uk or call 01558 667149.
