Harmony Garden
As we move out of the coronavirus lockdown, we’re pleased to be able to welcome back visitors to our outdoor spaces. Some of our buildings (historic buildings, visitor facilities, cafés and shops) remain closed. There are no toilet facilities at Harmony Garden. We urge people to follow Scottish government advice to carefully observe social distancing.
Planning your visit
We want you to enjoy your visit to Harmony Garden – your safety is our priority. This means we’ve had to make some changes so that we can keep everyone safe. Please read our Guide on what to expect before you set off.
There are several cafés and tearooms in Melrose.
We regret that dogs are not permitted within the walled garden (except assistance dogs).
Please see our drop-down Facilities below for helpful information about planning your visit.

Facilities & access
We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
Disabled parking is available at the entrance.
Pay & Display parking is available 200m from the entrance to Harmony Garden.
Wander through the walled grounds and lose yourself in peaceful harmony.
In springtime, dog’s tooth violets, dwarf narcissi, orchids, crocuses and fritillaries all burst into life – some of these bulbs are thought to date back to the Edwardian era. Stop to admire the attractive bell-shaped border, a nod to the garden’s links with Melrose Abbey.
The garden has level gravel paths. There are two sets of steps but these can be avoided by crossing the lawns.
