About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: St Andrews Botanic Garden Spring Fair
This spring plant sale and open day will feature plant and craft stalls, egg painting, chocolate egg making, picnic lunches and spring walks featuring the garden's impressive collection of rhododendrons, magnolias and other spring-flowering gems - and there will be some other surprises. The original Botanic Garden was founded by the University of St Andrews in 1889 in the precincts of St Mary's College. Originally a small garden, it now covers 18.5 acres and not only provides a wonderful space in which to relax and enjoy its beauty and atmosphere, but is also a scientific garden for teaching and research.
