Crarae Garden hosts Garden Day

Mid Argyll’s Crarae Garden, owned and managed by The National Trust for Scotland, is hosting a Garden Day on Wednesday 23rd September.

Visitors will be able to ask Head Gardener, Nigel Price, their horticultural questions and stock up on a variety of plants in a sale at the property’s onsite Shop.

One of the justly titled ‘Glorious Gardens of Argyll and Bute‘, Crarae has secrets and historical mysteries to discover, as well as a remarkable plant collection. Its shop also has a video running of the gardens in bloom, so that the less mobile – or the more gregarious – can sit, talk, have a cup of coffee, browse gifts and still see the gardens without the walking challenges of the steep gorge paths

Head of Gardens at the National Trust for Scotland, Robert Grant says: ‘The Trust manages some of Scotland’s most stunning gardens, with beautiful plant collections and fascinating histories and all are expertly managed by our dedicated gardeners.

‘Crarae Garden is involved in the Gardens Days, giving visitors the opportunity to get behind the scenes, learn more about the history of our gardens and what goes into maintaining them’.

The event runs between 10:00 and 17:00 on Wednesday 23rd September. Prices are £5.50 for adults and £4.50 for concessions.

There is more information on the gardens taking part in Gardens Days at the Trust’s website.
