So its time for the garden to have a well earned rest until next year. Looking forward to the Daffodils, Bluebells and Wild flowers that come out for the start of the new season.
The End of the Hydrangers
We are just coming to the end of the Hydrangers but they still smell lovely. We have the Mophead and Macrophylla varieties in this wee corner of the garden, along with the Hosta, Roses and Wisteria.
The Golden Border
Looking forward to the Fete
This sunday is our annual Fete in aid of the local Scouts and Guides. There will be our usual range of games, stalls, live music, teas and lunches, plus the Sealife centre will be bringing a touch pool, Oban Mountain Rescue and Finn Falconry will be here until 1:15pm. Other regular attractions include train rides, plant stall, cake stall, Taynuilt Swing Band and a bottle stall.
2017 Season
The garden opened to visitors on the 1st April, the daffodils are at their best as are the magnolias and there are even some bluebells out and the odd Rhododendron in flower. It is a very early spring after a mild winter, we look forward to seeing you.

Don’t miss the Priory ruins
Why not visit the Priory ruins at the same time as exploring the gardens. Originally built in 1230 by the MacDougall’s, the site contains some fine grave stones plus the MacDougall Cross.
The gardens in May
The gardens are looking beautiful, and a bit of blue sky sets them off perfectly!
