Branklyn Garden, Perth, Scotland

Last week we drove to Perth to visit Branklyn Garden again, it’s a lovely National Trust for Scotland location.

It was a lovely warm (ish) sunny (ish) day, well it didn’t rain, and the rhododendrons were looking their best.

This garden was donated by John and Dorothy Renton, a couple who had designed the two acre hillside garden after building their house on the plot in 1922.

In the photo below you can just see the house which I think is privately rented now. There is a cafe of course, with a ‘sitooterie’ where you can have your coffee and cake at a table outside .

This place is well worth a visit if you like gardens and plants, photographs never do the place justice. They also haveĀ  a lot of plants for sale, many of which have been propagated from plants in the garden. That’s very unusual, most places just buy plants in from somewhere, which just isn’t the same at all.

    • Stefanie,
      It is probably best seen in the spring, but it looks really good in the autumn too, with lots of acers.
