Description:
Seabeach’s coastal location offers spectacular views out over the Firth of Forth. Surprisingly sheltered, this one-acre site has been evolving since 2020, as we learn what survives in the wind, sea-spray and poor, stony soil. Formerly Pittenweem’s Gas Works, the garden now features irises, delphiniums, cottage garden borders, raised vegetable beds and formal planting. High stone walls attest to the site’s industrial past and excavated old bricks and stone have been incorporated into the new garden. Meandering hillside beds, planted in blue and white, are designed to mirror the sea and rocky skellies beyond. A large bank of cardoons, towering echiums and expansive hebe bushes are home to a host of birds, butterflies and bees. Although paths can be a little steep, lower areas of the garden are more accessible.
Directions: Pedestrian access is along West Shore. No car parking on site. There is a 3 minute walk from parking on either East Shore or the West Braes car park.
Other details: Also open 13/14 June as part of Pittenweem Village opening.
