Month: July 2014

We are so sad to hear of the death of Richard Baines, Curator of Logan Botanic Garden, during Storm Boelo last weekend.

Richard was a true plantsman, admired across the horticultural world, but to us here in Galloway he was also a wonderful friend and neighbour. He was always generous with his time and knowledge, always happy to share advice, and his enthusiasm for plants was infectious. We will treasure the plants he recently gave to our gardens, which will be a lasting reminder of his kindness.

He did so much to put the gardens of this corner of Scotland on the map, and he will be hugely missed by all of us.
Our heartfelt thoughts are with his family, his friends and everyone at Logan and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. 🌿 ... See MoreSee Less

Castle Kennedy Gardens

1 day ago

Due to storm damage, the Gardens will unfortunately remain closed tomorrow, Thursday 29th October.
But we have some good news! We're delighted to confirm that we'll be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for one final weekend of Halloween fun! 🎃

Our Midnight Garden Trail will be ready for explorers to solve the spooky clues and the Tearoom will be serving plenty of delicious food and sweet treats to enjoy after a walk around the Gardens.
As we close for the season after Sunday, this is your last chance to enjoy the Gardens before we reopen in spring.

We'd love to see you for one final autumn adventure! ... See MoreSee Less

Castle Kennedy Gardens

3 days ago

There's so much more to see at Castle Kennedy Gardens than the beautiful autumn colours. The gardens are home to a wonderful variety of wildlife and autumn is the perfect time to get outdoors and appreciate the natural world around us and fresh air.

From red squirrels and roe deer to otters and buzzards, there's plenty of wildlife to discover across the estate. Of course, you never quite know what you might see and that's part of the enjoyment of spending time in nature. Wrap up warm, take a walk through the Gardens and keep your eyes peeled along the way.

What wildlife will you spot on your next visit? ... See MoreSee Less
