    Celebrate Scotland’s beautiful gardens this May
    The National Trust for Scotland is gearing up to celebrate the beauty of some of its most popular, unusual and remote gardens on its Garden’s Day - Sunday 11 May.
    The National Trust for Scotland is gearing up to celebrate the beauty of some of its most popular, unusual and remote gardens on its Garden’s Day - Sunday 11 May.

    Across Scotland, 26 National Trust for Scotland gardens are getting involved, putting on special ‘ask the gardener’ events and taking visitors on a tour of the unusual or interesting features at their gardens. The events are organised as part of the Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which supports gardens across the country.

    Visitors can quiz gardening staff about how to make the most of their own gardens, learn more about composting and even pick up some seeds and plants to take home.

    Head of Gardens at the National Trust for Scotland, Jan Haenraets said:

    “The Trust manages some of Scotland’s most stunning gardens, with beautiful plant collections and fascinating histories and all are expertly managed by our dedicated gardeners. Gardens Day gives visitors the opportunity to get behind the scenes, learn more about the history of our gardens and what goes into maintaining them.”

    For a full list of events, please visit the events section of our website.
