For a touch of the exotic, visit Logan Botanic Gardens ...
This sub-tropical
paradise is home to a spectacular collection of bizarre and beautiful
plants. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the climate provides the ideal growing
conditions for southern hemisphere plants - you'll find it hard to believe
you're still in Scotland!
Famed for its tender collections, Logan's Walled Garden is a showcase for
brilliant blooms and is ablaze with colour throughout the season.
The
Woodland Garden is a haven for the weird and wonderful - from the groves of
eucalypts to the extraterrestrial looking Gunnera bog. And, while many
visitors will be content to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a walk to the highest
point will be rewarded with magnificent views over the Rhins to the Galloway
Hills and beyond.
Following a self-guided audio tour, joining guided walks or visiting the
Discovery Centre means all ages can learn about "Scotland's Most Exotic
Garden". Or, simply be tempted by the delicious home baking and local
delicacies of the Salad Bar and tasteful gifts and unusual plants for sale
in the Botanics Shop.
If Logan looks familiar, then some may recognise it as the backdrop to the
cult 1973 film, "The Wicker Man".
