Gardens to visit in March across Scotland (including Mother’s Day destinations)

Spring will soon arrive in Scotland, bringing in colour, scent and new growth. Plan your spring garden visits with us, and if you celebrate Mother’s Day, you will find some ideas for a lovely day out below. Visiting gardens is a wonderful way of spending your weekend, staycation holiday or you can incorporate them as part of your healthy routine or exercise.

Gardens open on a specific date, are available for walk-ins.

Gardens open by arrangement are a great opportunity to see the place at the time that suits you, and avoid crowds. Please check availability with the garden owner prior to setting out.

Don’t forget to take a few pictures and enter our Photography Competition.
