Description:
Lochwood is an informal garden of just under an acre, which has been slowly rescued and developed over 25 years using organic principles. I’ve tried to apply the idea of ‘right plant right place’, and to provide flowers for pollinators for as long a season as possible. The garden has slowly evolved into separate areas. Cottage style herbaceous and mixed borders surround the house, with deciduous trees and mature yews creating more challenging areas of dry shade. There is a ‘no dig’ vegetable garden, and a composting patch. Hedges have been planted for shelter, and a wildflower area and pond support the local abundant wildlife.
Directions: North Deeside Road (A93) just west of Drumoak turn up the road signposted to Cullerlie. Lochwood Cottage is at 0.6 miles. Or between Garlogie and Raemoir (B9125) at Floras Cafe take the road signposted to Drumoak. Lochwood Cottage is at 3 miles.
