The garden will be open throughout January and February with reduced entry at £10.
Visitors can enjoy an ever-changing display of winter-flowering plants across the 10-acre historic site, including hundreds of varieties of daffodils, hellebores, early-flowering snowdrops and crocus in the Cloister Garden.
Helen Scutt, director of Aberglasney Gardens, said: “Aberglasney has an abundance of winter flowering plants all around the gardens but we lacked a dedicated area that we could concentrate specifically on winter plants.
“We have planted Chimonanthus and snowdrops and we have moved plants, including a cloud pruned Douglas Fir tree, from other areas of the gardens to build this area up.
“I hope these displays will inspire visitors to be more adventurous in their own gardens and it is also worth noting that all of these plants are for sale in our shop.”
The Winter Garden was developed using funds raised through guided tours led by Ms Scutt.
Visitors will soon find a carpet of snowdrops around the newly planted Chimonanthus, Skimmia, and Hamamelis, with fragrant Daphnes located in front and behind the Melon House.
Aberglasney’s 10 acres feature a wide range of garden styles, from a historic Cloister Garden to a productive kitchen garden and the unique Ninfarium, an indoor sub-tropical garden.
Each area offers something different throughout the year, with the planting changing to showcase a diverse collection of flowers and trees.
The garden is open daily from 10.30am to 4pm during January and February.
No advance booking is required.
Visitors are encouraged to check the website for monthly highlights and more information.
