Blackdykes Garden

Description: Blackdykes Garden was created 30 years ago from open fields. The three acre site has extensive views southwards towards the Lammermuirs. The formal heart of the garden consists of a series of rooms hemmed in by stone walls and clipped hedges of yew, beech and hornbeam. These are planted with roses, irises, climbers and perennials. Surrounding the formal garden is a network of mown grass paths and avenues, fringed with species roses, ornamental trees, shrubs and topiary. There is also a vegetable garden with sweet pea trellises and soft fruit.
