    About

    Re-created Scottish Renaissance walled garden with vibrant floral designs and Museum of Farming Life Be amazed at over 30,000 annual bedding plants that make up the colourful designs in the parterres. Visit the Museum of Farming Life which brings the agricultural past to life. Admire our young orchard as well as the historical espalier apple trees which line our garden walls. Explore the woodland around the garden on the way marked trails. Brilliant design in the form of vibrant colours and meticulously manicured shapes give Pitmedden Garden its unique charm. With almost 6 miles of clipped hedging, sculptures and built heritage, the parterres at the heart of the garden are a masterpiece of intricate patterns and fragrant flowers. In 2021 we re imagined the upper terrace parterre for the modern world with a fresh, sustainable garden. A biodiverse, species-rich meadow weaves and drifts, offering changing patterns and colours. Combined with our orchard of more than 200 fruit trees, Pitmedden really is a delight for the senses.

    Beautiful gardens and lovely cafe

    Pitmedden Garden is beautiful all year round. I believe the main gardens and cafe are only open April - Oct. There are disabled spaces in the car park at the front. The website says it has accessible toilets - I did not see one myself, just the regular toilets near the car park, it will not be a changing places though. There is a large indoor cafe with plenty of space and seating. There are also several tables and chairs outside, which is what we chose as it was a lovely sunny day. Food is great and staff very friendly. The paths are small pink gravel, or over the grass. The grass was nice and hard to push the wheelchair on, even though it had been raining the day before. The top level of the garden has several buildings with farming things to look at, some would be hard / too small to get some chairs into. But if you don't mind a bit of a bump over cobbles then several are accessible. To access the bottom part of the garden you need to ask a member of staff to open some gates and show you around a private path. The lower gardens are very pretty and ornate. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
