About Scotland’s Gardens Scheme Open Garden: Edenhill

Kennedy Gardens, St Andrews KY16 9DJ
Mr John Angus
T:07710369747 E:1edenhill@gmail.com

Behind the imposing exterior of a handsome Victorian house in St Andrews lies a true hidden gem of a garden, Edenhill. This is a mature garden designed and planted some years ago with the help of Michael Innes and lovingly nurtured and developed by the owner, John Angus. The garden is enclosed by handsome old walls clothed in clematis and honeysuckle and there are several mature trees, including a monkey puzzle. Beneath some rather special species rhododendrons, there are carpets of colourful anemones, rare trilliums and some beautiful peonies. The sculptor, James Parker, has created some eye-catching sculptures for Edenhill and the most recent addition to this fascinating garden is a rill, the sound of which adds to the tranquillity of this very special garden.

Directions: Kennedy Gardens is situated off Hepburn Gardens in residential St Andrews, only 5 minutes walk from St Andrews bus station (through Kinburn Park). The street sits above the University Science campus.
