The eight private gardens opening for charity in Kilmun, Strone, Blairmore and Ardentinny, Argyll, are all very different. Modest in scale and as varied as their owners, they reflect the pleasures and the problems of creating beautiful gardens by the sea.
There are artists' gardens, poets' gardens; some are long established with mature trees, another is newly created on a very challenging slope; there are found objects gathered from the shoreline, wildflower meadows, ponds and wildlife havens and nectar bars, a fernery and bonsai trees. Some giant plants and some miniature treasures. Two small front gardens the same shape and size show just how different the same space can be. Many have wonderful views of the lochs and mountains as backdrops.
Most are usually hidden from view - don't miss this chance to come and see them - 26, 27 June 2010 1pm - 5 pm. Teas, book sale and plant sales too! (See also postings for 12 and 29 May)
