Description:
Wild woodland and wetland plantings adapting to climate change as we learn from resilient plants and wildlife. Flowers, fruits, seeds and nuts support birds, bats, bees, butterflies, moths, red squirrels and tiny unknowns. Woodland paths wind through snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells, foxgloves and ferns. Mature beeches and oaks mark boundaries of a former Victorian estate. Mosses soften log piles, stone shapes and a developing stumpery. Since the mid-1990s we have rebuilt and retrofitted the old farm cottage with external insulation and renewable energy. Now, working on new Himalayan planting beside native Scottish flowers overlooking the streams.
Directions: From Milnathort village. At the mini roundabout in the centre of the village take the north exit (signed for Path of Condie) up Wester Loan, then North Street. At the top of the hill, past the church on your left, you will cross the motorway again. Carry straight on for ½ mile, the gate to Pond Cottage is on the right after a field opening.
Other details: Open for seasonal highlights.
