About Logan Botanic Garden

Located on the south-western tip of Scotland and voted 'Best Garden in the UK' 2021, Logan enjoys an almost subtropical climate. The Garden is warmed by the Gulf Stream which enables plants from Australia, New Zealand, South and Central America and Southern Africa to thrive. The Garden is open on weekends in February for the Scottish Snowdrop Festival 10am-4pm. The Garden is then open daily from 1 March -15 November from 10am-5pm (4pm in November)
