It’s never too early to get your little munchkins engaged in the garden with the cool facts, fun and fascination to be had…and that’s what the Children’s National Garden Week is all about!
From this Saturday we’ll be running The Great Garden Centre Mystery: an interactive adventure of discovery with a chance to win a £250 National Garden Gift Card.
Grab one of the maps by our Pink lady and follow the clues to solve each garden mystery before logging your entry in the competition with a piccie. We’d love you to share it with us too🙏📸💚

The word from the burrows (or more aptly this year: via ‘jungle drums’) is that Hopsy Bunny has visited us again and left another little trail for the kiddiwinks to find and follow.
Grab a map at our info desk to locate the 8 clues she’s hopped and then dropped from her Easter basket, all around the garden centre. They’ll help you figure out the answer to her question for a wee reward 🐣
Our Easter adventure is free and for the whole family!

Gardens in Scotland you can visit, many of which are rarely open to the public. The best bit; every ticket bought, cuppa sipped and cake munched goes to help charities and local communities. Last year, Scotland’s Gardens Scheme supported over 250 charities and good causes👏
A great day out, a great way to get garden inspired and you’re giving too😊 #edinburgh#scotlandsgardenscheme #winchburgh#westlothian#gardencentre
