Powys gardens open by arrangement through the autumn and an Asian Hornet warning
Powys has come to the end of its gardens opening under the National Garden Scheme on a specific date.
There are still gardens open by arrangement - The Old Pottery, Llansantffraid until end of October, Plas Dinam, Llandinam until November 27 and Llysdinam, Newbridge-on-Wye until December 16.
Gardeners are being urged to beware - Asian (or yellow legged) hornets are invasive insects that are a threat to our ecosystem in the UK due to their predation of honey bees and other vital pollinators. Last year saw a record number of Asian hornets in the UK, and genetic analysis suggests they may have started overwintering here.
