Step into a world of rare botanical treasures at Logan Botanic Garden, a true paradise nestled on Scotland’s south-western tip.

Thanks to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, Logan enjoys an almost subtropical climate, allowing exotic plants from around the world to flourish. Its vibrant avenues and colourful borders showcase a spectacular array of half-hardy perennials and remarkable plant species rarely seen thriving elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

Garden highlights

Palm Trees and Tree Ferns: Wander through an antipodean forest where towering palms and tree ferns create an exotic atmosphere.

Eucalyptus and Giant Gunnera: Stroll among groves of eucalyptus or find shade under the awe-inspiring, rhubarb-like giant gunnera — an unforgettable sight.

The Walled Garden: Step into a tranquil oasis featuring a dazzling collection of exotic plants, with a serene fish pond adorned by elegant water lilies.

The Logan Conservatory: Visit the beautiful Victorian-style Logan Conservatory, home to a collection of particularly tender South African plants. It is the first all-green Glasshouse in the UK. 

A Living Collection with a Global Reach

Established in 1869, Logan was gifted to the nation a century later, becoming a regional garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1969.

Today, Logan’s 15 acres offer a vibrant tapestry of exotic plants, captivating visitors with their beauty while also contributing to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh’s internationally significant work in research, education, and conservation.

Logan Botanic Garden remains one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets — a remarkable destination waiting to be discovered.
