Nursery

An area in the upper park, on the west side, was used as a nursery, to supplement the work of the Castle Nursery in Bute Park. It adjoined the property known as Preswylfa (originally owned by the Thompson family) and specialised in growing wallflowers to supply other parks in Cardiff. The nursery closed in around 1982-83. Part of this land was built on after Preswylfa was demolished in around 2003, and the remainder was landscaped and became part of the park.[1]
