NTS - Pitmedden Garden

Located just 14 miles north of Aberdeen, Pitmedden Garden is a 17th-century walled garden set in a rural landscape. The garden features over 30,000 bedding plants, six miles of clipped box hedging, and more than 200 fruit trees, arranged across three levels. At the heart of the property lies the formal walled parterre garden, filled with a vibrant display of seasonal plants.

The adjacent Museum of Farming Life showcases the agricultural heritage of the local area, with an extensive collection of artefacts bringing Scotland’s rural history to life. Pitmedden Garden and the Museum of Farming Life are suitable for both FIT and Group clients.
