When the riverside garden was purchased 50 years ago, the only trees were 10 mature Scots pine and a huge elm predating the house of 1880. Today it is mainly a woodland garden with 120 rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, camellias and other acid soil loving plants; betulas, parrotias, malus, ilexs, abutilons and eucryphia. Herbaceous perennials to attract wildlife. Also a vegetable garden and greenhouse.

There is a riverside walk where you may see otters and herons nesting in the pines. Regretfully the glen with its stream tumbling over small waterfalls and the riverside walk are not suitable for wheelchairs and young children.
