The fertile soil and gentle climate of Perthshire have long inspired botanists, gardeners and horticulturists. That’s why you’ll find some of Britain’s most colourful gardens here – from small, privately-owned and lovingly-tended gardens full of specialist plants and flowers, to sumptuous, formal gardens in the grounds of stately homes.
The Perthshire Gardens Collection, which now includes gardens in Angus & Fife, brings together 11 spectacular examples of the gardener’s art that combine native Scottish plants with rare and exotic species from all over the world. From wild woodlands to formal gardens and from heathers to Himalayan treasures, you’ll find them all in the Perthshire Gardens Collection.
Group Bookings
Each of the gardens offers a particular welcome to groups, with specially discounted admission rates and flexible opening times to cater for your group's needs. Many also offer a range of tailor-made tours. So whether you're looking to browse the gardens at your own pace, or to learn more about a particular species or pick up horticultural tips in the company of the owner or Head Gardener, the information on the following pages will help you plan a memorable day out. To make your booking, simply get in touch with the `Groups Contact` at the garden of your choice.
