  • Threave Garden and Estate - NTS

    Threave is a series of spectacular gardens created over the years by students of the Trust's School of Heritage Gardening.
    You can enjoy the delights of these gardens in every season - from spring flowers, through summer blooms, autumn colours and winter frosts. The walled garden and glasshouses display succulent fruit and vegetables - sometimes our produce is available for visitors to buy, but mostly it is used in the Terrace Cafe to create delicious home cooked meals, soups, snacks and baking.
