Pitmedden Garden

The heart of the property is the formal walled garden originally laid out in 1675 by Sir Alexander Seton. In the 1950s, the Trust set about re-creating the gardens following designs dating from the 17th century.

The grounds provide school groups with the opportunity to cover many different topics in the one day. Bug hunts and pond dipping in the surrounding estate link in with the insect life visiting the many coloured flowers in the formal garden, where children can learn about the natural history and life-cycles.
