An opportunity to visit Horatio’s Garden Scotland for a private tour. Every Horatio’s Garden is created by a leading designer and rarely open to the public. This tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the restorative garden and learn more about its key design features and style, the benefits of horticultural therapy and the impact of gardens on wellbeing.

Horatio’s Garden Scotland was designed by celebrated garden designer and RHS Chair of Judges James Alexander-Sinclair. Despite having created countless stunning gardens from the Western Isles to the outskirts of Moscow, he maintains that Horatio’s Garden Scotland is his all-time favourite.

Horatio’s Garden Scotland includes unique design features including six distinct spaces to stimulate the senses, each with a different purpose, a woodland garden overlooked by the wards and several garden pods surrounded by flowerbeds brimming with colour and life.
