Scotland's Garden Scheme

Sunday 25th July 2010 from 11am to 5pm
The Garden at Annet House is to be open on Sunday 25th July from 11am to 5pm as part of Scotland’s Garden Scheme which supports a number of Charities including The Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland and Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres.

Throughout the day, guides will be available both in the Museum and Garden, and a Gardeners’ Question Time will be held at 11.30am and 2.30pm when a team of local experts will solve all your gardening problems.

At other times during the day, historical re-enactments will be presented by Linlithgow Players and there will be a regal confrontation when Mary Queen of Scots meets Queen Elizabeth 1.

Copies of our new publication “ Linlithgow’s Secret Garden: The Annet House Rigg” will be available priced £8.99.

We will be delighted to welcome you and hope that you will come to enjoy the Garden and perhaps get lost in the Maze!.

Admission, which includes light refreshments, is by donation £3.00 Concessions £2.00 Children Free. All proceeds to SGS’s beneficiaries
