Threave Garden and Estate

Threave Gardens

Threave is a garden for all seasons. Best known for its spectacular springtime display of daffodils, there are also summer displays from the herbaceous beds and borders and stunning autumn colours from the trees and from the heather garden.

Enjoy a walk around the magnificent gardens then have a look in the Plant Centre for a memento of your visit. Many of the plants on sale are raised in the gardens, while the others are chosen with the utmost care at a selection of small Scottish nurseries. Whether you're a beginner looking for a splash of colour or an expert seeking the unusual, we cater for all interests.

Threave also houses the Trust's School of Practical Gardening, a one year gardening course with a practical emphasis.
