Geilston Garden

Geilston is an intimate and tranquil garden best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. On entering the walled garden, the giant Wellingtonia tree will instantly impress, as will the spring displays of azaleas, followed in summer by colour on a grand scale in the herbaceous border. From here, wander into the woodland garden complete with waterfall, bridges over the Geilston Burn and mossy paths.

Beneath the tree canopy, the pathways are carpeted in spring with wood anemones and bluebells. Make your way to the kitchen garden and feast your eyes on the wide range of fresh produce grown, some of which you can buy in season – so you can eat and conserve!
