The Cowbridge Physic Garden is located in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. The physic garden was created by the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust in 2004,[1] and was opened in June 2008 by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. who is its patron.[2] Surrounded by high stone walls, parts of which date to the 13th century, the physic garden is situated within a former 18th century formal garden which belonged to the Edmondes family of Old Hall.[3] The garden was designed to replicate the styles of its 18th century predecessor, and only plants found in Britain before 1800 are included in the garden.[4]
