Broadwoodside

Broadwoodside is a striking contemporary private garden in East Lothian, Scotland. At its heart, the garden surrounds two sheltered courtyards and it was created from a seventeenth century derelict farm steading by Robert and Anna Dalrymple.

Owing to its origins as a cluster of small farm buildings, the garden design works around existing architecture, walls and courtyards. The Upper and Lower courtyards act as formal cores, with paths, lawns, topiary, chequerboard paving, an aviary, and strong geometrical plantings.

Outside the courtyards the garden extends into farmland, woods and fields. Features include a lime (or “linden”) avenue, a temple, orchard, walled kitchen garden with a willow pond, sculptural / playful interventions, and plantings designed to give interest in all seasons.

Broadwoodside is known for its strong formal elements being balanced by playful and artistic touches—sculptures, inscriptions, objects, and witty humour. It is regarded as one of Scotland’s finest new private gardens, praised for its originality and high standard of planting.
