Since 1984, we have been gradually creating our garden - merging it with wonderful existing landscape and integrating with the lush native deciduous woodlands. On one level it is a garden of infinite detail; on another the eye follows sweeps of colour leading into the surrounding magnificence of Loch and mountain. The garden is full of plants from the countries where we have previously lived and gardened...... ...Olearias, Pittosporums and Flaxes from New Zealand; Tea berries and Diddle-Dee from the Falkland Islands. We are known for our high quality range of rare and unusual plants and we have notable collections of Old Fashioned Primulas, Auriculas, Helianthemums and Hardy Geraniums.
Visit our new "Reading Room", relax with a hot drink, browse the magazines and local information or just dream a little ..... Secret paths, steps, twists and turns make an ideal place for families to explore. Feel free to bring a picnic. Adjacent to the garden is our nursery where you can buy many of the plants you have seen growing in the garden, together with a huge range of other interesting and unusual varieties.
We open the Gardens are under the Scotland's Garden Scheme (The Yellow Book). A donation is made from the entrance charge and is used for local, National Trust & nursing charities. There is always someone on hand to help you with advice and information on our plants, our gardens and the local area. Many pretty walks are open in the adjacent woodland; and in Abriachan itself, there is the exciting community forest. We are open daily from February to November 9a.m. to 7 p.m. (or dusk if earlier).
