GEILSTON Garden in Cardross will be participating in the Scotland’s Gardens Scheme (SGS) this weekend.

Home-made teas will be served and there will be a plant sale at the garden on Sunday, June 4.

Admission charges on the day will be donated to SGS beneficiaries.

Geilston Garden has many attractive features including the walled garden with herbaceous border providing summer colour, tranquil woodland walks and a large working kitchen garden.

This is the ideal season for viewing the Siberian iris in flower along the Geilston Burn and the Japanese azaleas. 

The three SGS 'core beneficiaries' are the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland (QNIS), Perennial and Maggie’s.

QNIS supports, develops and inspires Scotland’s community nurses and midwives to be agents for health improvement and catalysts for social change thoruhg community projects.

Perennial is the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping everyone who works in horticulture, and their families, by providing free and confidential advice, information and support to those who worked in the industry or used to and have since retired.

Maggie's provides care and support to people who have been diagnosed with cancer, and their families, at centres located across the UK, including a facility at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow's west end.

This Sunday's open garden event at Geilston runs from 1-5pm.
