Enjoy 17 acres of garden in St Andrews

Explore the gardens of Fife and discover stunning gardens full of flowers, shrubs and vegetables. The region is home to one of Scotland’s four botanic gardens which covers an impressive 17 acres right in the centre of St Andrews.

 

Head to the St Andrews Botanic Garden and discover a landscaped garden, full of trees, shrubs, ponds and herbaceous borders which will enchant you on a fine winter morning.

 

The botanic garden extends to 17 acres of gardens and glasshouses, situated between the town’s Lade Braes and Canongate. Wrap up warm and take the short walk from the town centre to discover this hidden gem.

 

Meander the sheltered paths to the rock gardens, scree slopes and shrublands, or watch the waterfalls cascade as you enjoy the crisp, fresh winter air. Large glasshouses provide vital warmth to many flowers and exotic plants, with cacti and an impressive collection of alpines to peruse, with many more offerings from warmer climes around the world.

 

With events taking place in the garden throughout the year, you can visit the website to find out what’s happening this winter amongst the snowdrops, ferns and herbaceous plants.
