Inverewe Garden
|
The Pinewood Trail and Kernsery Path are stunning all year round as the view changes constantly. Autumn woodland colours, Spring bird courtship displays , Spring and Autumn bird migration, Summer dragonflies (13 species)
In the Garden the season begins early and ends late due to the effect of the North Atlantic Drift. The Walled Garden looks its best in Spring through to late Summer when flowering bulbs and plants are grown alongside vegetables which traditionally were for the “family” in the “Big Hoose”
The Herbaceous Border in front of Inverewe House is also colourful Spring through to late Autumn/early winter.
Inverewe enjoys a wide variety of trees and the canopy is colourful all year round but excels in the Autumn when the deciduous trees are on the turn.
The large collection of Evergreens ensures that even in Winter there is something to see from the differing shades of trees and shrubs to the selection of berries in reds, whites and oranges.
The many viewpoints also allow one to take in the changing moods of the seascape from the open Loch to the relative shelter of Camas Glass
