About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Blackdykes Garden

Blackdykes Farmhouse, North Berwick, East Lothian EH39 5PQ
Sir Hew & Lady Dalrymple

Blackdykes Garden was created 30 years ago from open fields. The three acre site has extensive views southwards towards the Lammermuirs. The formal heart of the garden consists of a series of rooms hemmed in by stone walls and clipped hedges of yew, beech and hornbeam. These are planted with roses, irises, climbers and perennials. Surrounding the formal garden is a network of mown grass paths and avenues, fringed with species roses, ornamental trees, shrubs and topiary. There is also a vegetable garden with sweet pea trellises and soft fruit.

Directions: Leave North Berwick on the A198 towards Dunbar. Half a mile after Tesco, turn right at Rhodes Holdings. After one mile you will arrive at Blackdykes.
