SCOTLAND TO SHOWCASE HEALTHY GARDENS

Scotland’s Garden Scheme schedule for 2020 will celebrate the country’s native wildlife and unique biodiversity.

Established almost 90 years ago, the charity encourages private owners to open up their gardens to help raise money for a number of local and national causes. This year’s selection features more than 500 gardens, 89 of which will be accessible to the public for the first time.

Among the sites opening this year is Baile Gaemhraidh, a biodynamic farm on the island of Lismore, as well as Bruckills Croft in Aberdeenshire – home of award-winning wildlife gardener Helen Rushton.
