Charity Garden Opening - Portmore

Lovingly created by the current owners over the past 30 years; the gardens surrounding the David Bryce-designed mansion house contain mature trees and offer fine views of the surrounding countryside. Large walled garden with box-edged herbaceous borders is planted in stunning colour harmonies, potager, rose garden, pleached lime walk and ornamental fruit cages. The Victorian glasshouses contain fruit trees, roses, geraniums, pelargoniums and a wide variety of tender plants. There is also an Italianate grotto and water garden with shrubs and _Meconopsis_. The woodland walks are lined with rhododendrons, azaleas and shrub roses. Starred in _Good Gardens Guide_ and featured in Kenneth Cox’s book _Scotland for Gardeners_ and on _Beechgrove_. 

This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
