Help Save Arduaine Gardens

The National Trust for Scotland is trying to 'mothball' Arduaine Gardens - one of the most spectacular gardens on the west coast - in a cost cutting exercise. You might be able to throw a dust sheet over an antique table but you can't just ignore plants and leave a garden to its own devices.

If you would like to join the fight to save Arduaine then please follow this link and sign the online petition. There is a one month consultation period and we hope that NTS will reconsider this ill thought out move.

Save Arduaine Gardens

One of the glorious gardens of Argyll - Arduaine Gardens - is currently under threat of closure. The National Trust for Scotland is trying to save money by 'mothballing' some of its properties. How on earth they expect a garden to be mothballed I don't know. You can't just throw a dust sheet over the rhodies and expect them to survice. Gardens needs constant care and attention if they are to thrive and develop. If you have not been to Arduaine I would urge you to go now. This is a classic West Coast garden with some very important plant species and spectacular displays of rhododendrons. The setting itself is magnificent with some of the best views in Argyll. Many of our visitors make Arduaine a regular trip on their holiday itinerary and it seems very short sighted of NTS to even think of closing it.

If you feel strongly that this beautiful west coast garden should be kep open please follow the link and sign the online petition.
