Poetry in pastel flowers, a haiku in hedge parterre, bright sunflower stanzas, lush lavender lyrics. Pitmedden Garden stuns with loud colour and silent symmetry.
The Scottish Renaissance garden dates from the 17th century, originally founded by Sir Alexander Seton. Box hedge parterres deliver a poem of pristine pattern, and include 30,000 annual bedding plants.
An orchard of more than 170 fruit trees is a quiet place for reflection, an escape from modernity to nature.
Sculptures by John Maine RA offer a dazzling contrast to the nature around them.
There are also frequent art displays, a farming museum and delightful woodland walks.
Butterflies have found a welcome home.
