Open on Sunday 31 May

🌳🈺㊗️🍁STOBO JAPANESE WATER GARDEN 🪴🌺🈺⛩️🌳

🍁This is a mature, secluded woodland garden created in the early 1900s.
🪷 Its most prominent feature is the constant presence of water that adds to the tranquillity of the garden, beginning with the drama of a waterfall at its head through a cascade of ponds, punctuated along the way by stepping stones and bridges.
🌸The garden was brought to life when Japanese style was the height of fashion – hence its cherry trees, maples, and iconic Japanese lanterns, ‘tea house’ and humpback bridge.

📒Open for SGS Sunday 31 May, 2pm - 5pm
🎟️Admission £10.00, children free.
💛Nominated charity: Stobo and Drumelzier Church of Scotland 20%, Firefly 20% & Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA 20%.

📍 Off the B712 (Peebles/Broughton road) via Stobo Castle entrance.
