Visitors
Welcome
WE
ARE OPEN DAILY
FROM FEBRUARY TO NOVEMBER
9a.m. to 7 p.m(Or dusk if earlier)
We open the Gardens are under the Scotland's
Garden Scheme (The Yellow Book). A donation is made from the
entrance charge and is used for local, National Trust & nursing charities
 Since 1984, we have been gradually creating our garden - merging it with wonderful existing landscape and integrating with the lush native deciduous woodlands.
On one level it is a garden of infinite detail; on another
the eye follows sweeps of colour leading into the surrounding
magnificence of Loch and mountain
The garden is full of plants from the countries where we have previously lived and gardened......
...Olearias, Pittosporums and Flaxes from
New Zealand; Tea berries and Diddle-Dee
from the Falkland Islands.
We are known for our high quality range of rare and unusual plants and we have notable collections of Old Fashioned Primulas, Auriculas, Helianthemums and Hardy Geraniums. each spring we display a beautiful Auricula theatre.
