Threave Garden
The gardens cover 64 acres and are part of a larger estate that was bought by William Gordon in 1867. Gordon laid out the landscape in 1880s although the majority of the garden has been created since 1960.
The garden is home to the National Trust for Scotland’s School of Gardening.
Explore the gardens which include a working walled garden, a rock garden, several ponds and water features and a silent area.
Threave contains the National Collection of Penstemons as well as a particularly fine collection of alders and Narcissus.
There is also a visitor centre, plant centre and Nature Reserve.
Members of the National Trust visit for free.
