THE gardens at Rowberrow, Dollar, are opening on behalf of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme this weekend.
Located on the way up to Castle Campbell overlooking Dollar Glen, this colourful spot has several mixed shrub and herbaceous borders, a wildlife pond, two rockeries, alpine troughs, fruit and vegetable gardens, and a mini-orchard.
The owner of the gardens, which featured on the Beechgrove Garden in summer 2011, likes to collect unusual specimens and will welcome visitors on Sunday, September 2, 2-5pm.
Dogs on leads can visit, there will be homemade teas, a plant stall and partial disabled access.
Admission is £4, accompanied children go free, and the charities to receive money will be Hillfoot Harmony (60 per cent) with the net remaining going to Scotland's Gardens beneficiaries.
To find the garden, pass along the burn side in Dollar, turn right at T junction, follow signs for Castle Campbell and Dollar Glen.
Park at the bottom of Castle Road or in the Quarry car park just up from the house.
Anyone interested in opening their garden next year, or being a member of the Stirlingshire branch of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme can contact Gillie on drapper@kilewnan.org.uk
