Charity Garden Opening - The Walled Garden, Shieldhill

This 200-year-old walled garden was completely redesigned and planted in 2014/15 with contemporary features within a classic design.

The garden incorporates a modern rill and banks of colour with perennial flowers in a variety of borders.

The resident bees enjoy the large area of traditional meadow flowers as well as the rose garden planted with lavenders, salvias and stocks.

Outside the wall you will find mature woodland including a giant sequoia and a wildlife pond.

If you are interested in fruit and vegetables, take a look at the raised beds and the peach tree and vine in the greenhouse.

There are many secluded spots around the garden to sit and enjoy a cup of tea and a homemade cake.This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
