BODNANT Garden near Conwy has been named as one of the 10 most photographed gardens in the world, beaten only by the likes of Monet's Garden in France, and the Majorelle Jardin in Marrakech.
Roofing Megastore has revealed the stunning colour palettes of the gardens after analysis of almost two-million Instagram snaps.
The 10 most photographed gardens include the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo with its delicate cherry blossom shades of pink, Yves Saint Lauren’s garden in Morocco with its unmistakable cobalt blue. However, it was Singapore's Gardens by the Bay that took the crown as the most photographed in the world, with more than a million snaps of the garden shared on Instagram.
National Trust property Bodnant Garden has an impressive 18,225 Instagram Photos.
Bodnant Gardens covers some 80 acres of Welsh hillside. The garden consists of multiple areas that range from rose gardens to lily ponds, however its most photographed section is arguably the Laburnum Arch.
Gian-Carlo Grossi, managing director at Roofing Megastore, said: “Our gardens have been more important than ever over the past year, and after a long, hard winter, the changing of the season feels like it’s even more colourful this spring.
"We know many people are planning to transform their gardens this year, be that with a garden room a new conservatory, or simply redesigning the borders and planting some new flowers. So, if a holiday abroad is still off the cards this summer, what better way to evoke the atmosphere of somewhere more exotic, than taking inspiration from the world’s most beautiful gardens?"
