About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Gardens House

Listed Under Gardening Events / Charity and Fundraiser Events / Family and Kids Events / Outdoor Events

This new garden covers 10 acres including a Victorian arboretum. Work began in 2013 with the conversion of a spruce plantation, once the Houston House kitchen garden, into a structured landscape now showing impressive displays. A former banana house has been repurposed as a fernery. Beech hedging forms areas containing a collection of rhododendrons - 240 plants, 67 varieties - alongside magnolias, sorbus, acers, and bamboos on either side of an avenue of Dawn Redwoods. The old garden gates lead to a secret garden, home to a magnificent katsura, ancient azaleas and enkianthus, ten newly planted species of fir and a partially restored lily pond. The tree canopy has been selectively opened up and planted with large leaved rhododendron. South of the house, the landscape opens up into an informal park where a pond, created in 2018, adds a peaceful water element.

Directions: Satnav with postcode PA6 7AU takes you to the house. Signed off the B789 to Langbank 300 yards north of the end of Houston.

Other details: Parking will be in a field
