Charity Garden Opening - Inveresk Village

Inveresk Village, with cultivation going back to the Roman era, has a broad range of gardens including a television star, one complementing an eco house, one large, tiered garden and a garden around a more modern bungalow which is being redesigned for the 21st century.

The National Trust for Scotland property, Inveresk Lodge Garden, has great potential for children with pond dipping an ever-popular pursuit at this venue.

A circular trail features Musselburgh’s highly-rated allotments and passes a very interesting topiary hedge in Double Dykes.

The mix of large and small gardens, flourishing in a relatively dry climate, will offer visitors many ideas to think over when they return home.

This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
