DescriptionAbout 8000 species of ferns, herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees are grown here. Some are native to Scotland but most grow wild in other regions of the world.

In the upper part of the garden the texture is a clay loam but near the Kinness Burn, it is sandy with some gravel. About 8000 species of ferns, herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees are grown here.
