Redcroft
A hidden Arts and Crafts garden in Edinburgh, open to visitors with mature planting, water lilies and a treehouse for children.
When Anna and James Buxton moved into Redcroft in 1986 they acquired a garden which had always been very well cared for. Since then the range of plants has been widened and it now has the feel of a very mature garden. The garden surrounds the Arts and Crafts house and has itself something of an Arts and Crafts style. Carefully trimmed shrubs have become sculptures, the pond is now covered in water lilies and some of the lawn has become long grass with paths.
It is a hidden haven off a busy road. May should be very colourful with rhododendrons and other flowering shrubs and wall plants, and a good display of tender plants in the old greenhouse. The orchard will be covered in daffodils and there will be tulips in pots and other spring bulbs. Children and buggies are welcome, and older children will enjoy our treehouse. Accès : Murrayfield Road runs north from Corstorphine Road to Ravelston Dykes. Easy free parking.
Buses 12, 26, 31 to Murrayfield Stadium. Bus 38 to Murrayfield Road. Organiser: James and Anna Buxton
