Logan Botanic Garden, Gardens of Scotland |
 |
Logan Botanic Gardens is one of the National Botanic Gardens of Scotland. It is one of the most exotic gardens in Scotland. The exceptionally mild climate allows an array of tender, exotic plants to thrive outdoors all year round. Situated on the most south-westerly tip of Scotland, this colourful and exotic garden benefits from being bathed by the gulf stream. The warm air provides a unique climate in which many tender and unusual plants can survive. There are lots of plants from the southern hemisphere including eucalyptus trees. Self guided audio tours are available to make sure you do not miss any of the highlights of the garden. The Botanics shop stocks a wide range of local crafts, gifts and cards and a selection of Logan’s most popular plants. The Salad Bar, café and tearoom, offers a wide range of refreshments from home baking to locally caught salmon salads. |
