Rowan Tree Ltd - Garden Treasures of the North

Garden Treasures of the North (Weekend)

A veritable treat awaits garden lovers in this three-day tour which combines what we consider to be the best gardens in the Highlands with some of the most beautiful scenery in the North. From the justly-famous gardens of Inverewe to lesser-known gems like Kerrachar (accessible only by boat), this break will inspire you with new ideas and fill you with awe at the often daunting conditions which Highland gardeners have tackled with such success. In addition to a knowledgeable Rowan Tree Ltd guide who will accompany you for the entire itinerary, we have also arranged for tours of most of the above gardens to be conducted by the resident owners or gardeners.
