The Nurtons Garden covers about two acres on the hillside overlooking the River Wye. It is a "Plantsman's Garden" with a host of unusual plants in a natural setting; most notably a fine collection of over 100 Hosta varieties, an extensive collection of Salvias, and a rich variety of ferns and grasses. These are displayed within open sunny beds and borders, shady areas, rockery and a large formal Herb Garden which contains one of the largest collection of medicinal plants in Wales. Access is from the drive opposite the Old Station, Tintern on the main road. The garden is open daily (except Tuesdays) 10:30 - 5:00. early March - October. The associated Wye Valley Plants is a nursery selling many herbaceous varieties and herbs. St Mary's Church can just be seen across the valley.
