Final preparations are well under way for the opening of the summer season at the National Trust for Scotland’s Branklyn Garden in Perth on April 1.
Staff and volunteers are working hard to get the garden, which boasts a fine collection of rhododendrons and examples of the distinctive Himalayan poppy meconopsis, blossoming in time to receive visitors.
Head gardener Steve McNamara is confident this promises to be a great year for Branklyn.
“Our gardens are in great shape and bursting with colour and spring blooms, including rhododendron, bulbs and hellebores, ” he said.
“The rock garden area has been renovated and looks stunning.
“I am sure our visitors will enjoy this beautiful spot, which truly is one of Scotland’s hidden treasures.”
Branklyn will be open daily from 10am-5pm.
Entry is free for members, for adult non-members entry is £5.50 and it is £15 for a family ticket.
