Description:
This half-acre, clay soil plot carved from the grounds of a 19th century mansion, proves what can be done with hard work and passion. With the help of many large stones salvaged from the ruined mansion next door, owned by Patrick Matthew (1790 -1874), Lynda created a rock garden from scratch using the stone to create structure and form. Patrick’s son from California sent over the first giant redwood seedlings in 1853, one of which stands next to this garden. The garden is jam-packed with an interesting and colourful mix of alpines and herbaceous plants, including a few unusual plants, and is a haven for bees and butterflies.
Directions: On A90 from Perth, pass Glendoick and Shell garage. Go over the flyover following signs to Errol. Pass Cairn O'Mhor and straight on to reach a T-junction. Turn left and at the Grange sign turn left. Low wooden gate at the bottom of the road. Bus 16.
