Charity Garden Opening - Amisfield Walled Garden

A large, 18th-century walled garden, abandoned for many years until the early 2000s and since transformed by volunteers. The garden, which is eight acres in size, is completely enclosed by 16 foot-high walls of dressed stone. Each corner features an elegant stone pavilion. Over the years, herbaceous borders, vegetable plots and fruit trees have been planted. A hornbeam walk, maze, sensory gardens, potager and woodland area have been added. The mixed fruit orchards and apple espaliers are home to over 40 varieties of apples. Willow and Cornus beds surround the Winter Garden. A wildflower meadow and pond have been introduced as a further step in our biodiversity plan. This is a garden of interest and joy all year round.

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