Perthshire famously plays host to a myriad of outstanding Gardens throughout the region. The soil is rich and fertile and the climate is constant with adequate rainfall to provide ideal growing conditions. As well as its fame as the ‘Berry Capital of Scotland, Perthshire has produced a wide variety of plants and flowers as well as an abundance of highly prized specimens.
Perthshire’s gardens can be proud to be the envy of many and loved by all as well as offering inspiration to a host of famous writers and artists.
Enjoy the diversity of the plant collections throughout the Gardens of Perthshire of which there are many to tempt and delight the palate of the horticulturist, specialist and home gardener alike. The range is vast and choice is extensive from formal and opulent gardens in the grounds of a stately manor house to small, private and lovingly tended gardens with tremendous colour and imagination.
Enjoy an day or evening walk through one of the Gardens of your choice and revel in nature, learn how to cook with herbs that you’ve grown yourself, or try a new painting technique in an outdoor garden setting.
A heritage of grand houses with grand gardens and baronial buildings with sumptuous gardens of distinction, Perthshire has an unsurpassed clarity of light and colour as the day progresses into evening with spectacular sunsets in wide open skies which veritably sets Scottish gardens apart.
It is worth noting that many gardens are open for one day only or by appointment, with all proceeds going to a registered charity and it is important to check details before you travel, however you can be assured all listed gardens offer a warm welcome to visitors. Many gardens also encourage Group visits.
