Inverewe Gardens in the northwest of Scotland is a haven of trees and shrubs which was created from 50 acres of bleak headland in Scotland in 1862 by Osgood Mackenzie. While the gardens are located at the same latitude as Hudson’s Bay, the varied plantings thrive due to the warmth of the Gulf Stream. We visited the garden as a part of a CIE Coach Tour in early May, too early for many of the plants to be in bloom. The photographs below show only a small part of the garden.
Shown above is a sculpture by James Parker entitled Sheltered existence.
