Hill of Tarvit Mansionhouse & Gardens An open garden in Fife

Hill of Tarvit was, I believe, designed by Lorimer. What I actually know is that it has a fabulous plant sale early October each year. I confess, also, that the frost covered tree that accompanies my name is a picture taken above Tarvit Mansion.

Previously, I have been blown away by the Clematis that covers the entrance wall - I presume it's a montana. It also has a handkerchief tree, but the thing that impressed me the most was the planting in its long borders - high on a slope but south facing, they are a haven for butterflies and bees as far as I can see - and without them a garden is nothing.
