Loch Leven started 35 years ago from a blank canvas. Come and see what a passionate plants woman and an enthusiastic husband have created. This 3-acre structured and restful garden is tranquil and inspiring. 

Native areas provide shelter and an evergreen back drop. Hedging has been used extensively to provide shelter and structure.  Large borders are filled with creative plant combinations and a gorgeous spring display. Deciduous trees are planted throughout the large expanse lawn and garden. Wire art and locally sourced boulders are a focal point within the garden. A summerhouse is nestled between peony beds and espaliered fruit trees. 

A new area developed during Lockdown 2020 shows what can be achieved in a short time.

The nursery has a wide selection of plants, which the owners propagate and will be available to purchase.

Loch Leven has many places to sit and enjoy the beautiful vistas this expansive garden has to offer.
