Portmeirion artist Susan Ellis-Williams came up with the idea for Botanic Garden in 1972, when she was looking through rare books and discovered a volume of beautiful, meticulously drawn floral illustrations. The launch of Botanic Garden included 28 different flowers and was an immediate success. Her father, Clough Williams-Ellis, is famous for designing Portmeirion Village in Wales. This amazing Italian-style village is a popular tourist destination and has appeared in many films, most notably, the 1960s TV series "The Prisoner".
