Garden of the Season
An Cala - Seil, Argyll

This month's Garden of the Season features the magical An Cala. A single-track road takes visitors past bays and over stretches of moorland until you reach your destination on Seil’s most westerly point. The garden has retained its Arts and Crafts appeal and the whitewashed house, with its blue shutters, give An Cala great charm. Owner Sheila Downie says: “Weather conditions this year have produced lots of growth, so the garden feels very exuberant.” Read the full article here.

Admission: Adult- £5.00 Children- Free

The Garden is open from 1 April - 31 October, 10am-6:00pm.
