Spring Flower Festival – rhododendron

The Variety of Species, colour and smell of the rhododendrons at Ardkinglas at this time of year attracts the specialist and the wanderer. Rhododendrons have been grown here for a number of years and include some unusual and historic plants especially a collection of red rhododendron hybrids raised by Lord Glenkinglas. Also on the Bodnant Bank are plants which originated from Bodnant Garden in North Wales. Along with the rhododendrons take time to view the champion trees and give the “mightiest conifer in Britain” a hug. See also the Ladies Garden, Ardkinglas.

Dawyck Botanic Garden

Spring at Dawyck Botanic Garden

April 5th, 2021 - May 31st, 2021

The 65-acre woodland garden at Dawyck is a botanical delight in springtime. The Garden, nestled in the picturesque Scottish Borders, is renowned for its displays of bluebells, rhododendrons, azaleas and blue poppies. As the swathes of snowdrops that carpet the banks of Scrape Burn begin to fade, other plants burst into life. A woodland walk, among some of Britain’s oldest and tallest trees, is rewarded by the sight of fresh green beech leaves and the magnificence of the early flowering rhododendrons including the stunning Rhododeron strigillosum and Rhododendron oreodoxa. The historic Azalea Terrace is a blaze of vibrant colour when the azaleas flower in May and early June. Meconopsis, a Himalayan native, thrives in Dawyck’s conditions. Masses of blue poppies are to be found under the tree canopy in late spring.
