Description:
After 12 years of holding open days, we are showing our garden 'by arrangement' this year. We welcome individuals and groups of any size, for guided tours or simple walkabouts. The house is on a busy bus route but hides a fascinating garden on a steeply sloped site. There are views over Braidburn Valley Park to the Pentland Hills. Paths wind down from the oval lawn, past a handsome magnolia tree, to a terrace which overlooks a water feature and established flowering shrubs. Less common species include Neillia thibetica and dierama. Further steps lead past a scree bed of azalea and rhododendron to a productive area of vegetable beds and fruit trees and a neatly concealed composting area. We aim to have colour, contrast and interest all year round.
Directions: From the city centre take the A702 through Morningside. Continue uphill and turn right at Greenbank Church on to Greenbank Crescent. Buses 5 and 16; the stop is for Greenbank Row.
Other details: Refreshments by arrangement. Unfortunately, the layout still makes the garden unsuitable for those of limited mobility.
