Brooklands near Crocketford is opening to the public this weekend for Scotland’s Gardens Scheme.

This garden is a gem to visit, featuring a large old walled garden which has been beautifully planted with a wide selection of plants, including some interesting shrubs and climbers. There is also a kitchen garden. In the mature woodland garden are many established rhododendrons and azaleas and far reaching views to admire.

There will be plants for sale; the garden is partially wheelchair accessible; it is dog friendly and if the weather permits teas will be available.

Brooklands will be open from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday, May 1. Admission is £5, children free, with proceeds to Scotland’s Gardens Scheme charities.

To get to Brooklands turn off the A712 Crocketford to New Galloway Road one mile outside Crocketford at the Gothic gatehouse (on the right travelling north).
