From here you can wander out into the magical woodland garden complete with a waterfall, bridges over the Geilston burn and mossy paths. The verdant tree canopy is carpeted with an under storey of wood anemones and bluebells in the spring.
Then the kitchen garden awaits with a range fresh produce which will inspire the most discerning culinary expert. Geilston Garden produce is on sale to visitors in season - so you can eat and conserve!
