Description:
From the rich, varied landscape, a romantic garden has been created from scratch over the past 25 years. Visitors can stroll in the walled garden near the house, or explore the old oak wood planted with many interesting shrubs. These are growing up fast, adding shape and colour. Across the burn is the gorge and a wonderful waterfall. The woodland garden ends in the meadow, planted with irises and a collection of unusual trees, which continues down to the beach and a magnificent huge rock. My garden is a place to be peaceful in. Come and enjoy, but be prepared as some of the paths are steep with lots of steps and are unfortunately not suitable for wheelchairs.
Directions: Situated at the top end of Loch Fyne between Cairndow and St Catherines, off the A815.
Other details: Small groups of up to six people by application to the Gardener, Robert Backhouse, Ardno Cottage, Tel: 01499 302304 or email: backhouserobert@aol.com from May – September.
