Description:
Sally started transforming her wildlife-friendly garden in 2008 with a native-species hedge. She has since added a pond and rain garden system fed by roof run-off; it's brilliant to see birds coming down to drink and the variety of invertebrates and amphibians living in it. A self-sustaining wildflower meadow grows in size every year, left to set seed, providing seeds for the large flock of house and tree sparrows. The latest addition is a green roof on the woodshed, which should be bursting with colour in July. Fruit trees, bushes and a variety of veggies are dotted throughout the garden, the architectural kale plants providing a fantastic contrast with purple poppies and evening primrose.
Directions: Follow signs for Cardhu Distillery but continue on the single track road past the distillery and round to the left following signs towards Knockando Church and Primary School. We are the last bungalow before the school and there is parking close by.
