FINLAYSTONE GARDEN NOMINATED IN THE CARDENERS’ WORLD MAGAZINE GARDENS TO VISIT GUIDE AWARDS.

Finlaystone Gardener, Colin Hume said ‘It is great news that we have been nominated in the Gardeners’ World Gardens to Visit Guide Awards as Finlaystone has so much to offer gardening enthusiasts. There is the ‘Smelly garden’ the walled garden, knot garden, sunken garden, the winter border and all the herbaceous borders to see.’

He continues ‘The winter border has undergone a fair deal of renovation during the last couple of months and now is the time to search out the special snowdrops ‘Galanthus Sam Arnot’, the first hellebore flowers and have a smell of the Christmas Box (Sarcoccoca Confusa).

With spring just around the corner, it is the last chance to see the ‘garden structure’ before it becomes clothed in foliage, the crisp lines of the yew & box hedges and the various forms of mature trees. Look out for the Witch Hazel’s (Hamamelis) spidery flowers and smell their heady perfume. Soon we will also have a dazzling display of daffodils which will be followed by bluebells and then the azaleas and rhododendrons. Finlaystone truly is a gardener’s delight.’

Voting starting on Thursday 4th February and runs through till noon on Friday 26th February. We are hoping as many people as possible will vote for us and to make sure your vote counts click on www.gardnersworld.com/gardens-vote
