Celebrating the 200th anniversary
of The Shrubbery, Elaine Kuwahara is opening her beautiful garden on Magdalen
Yard Road for three days, with all proceeds to charity, including Friends of
Camperdown House and Scotland’s Gardens.
The opening will be on Friday 26th May
by former Lord Provost John Letford and the event will run until Sunday 28th May.
Home
of famed Dundee artist McIntosh Patrick for many years, the garden and house
were the subject of several of his paintings. The Georgian townhouse was
designed and built by Dundee architect David Neave in 1817.
The
garden has been sympathetically restored to McIntosh Patrick’s time and
features mainly herbaceous perennials and shrubs. It also includes surviving
fruit trees from its original layout as a working garden. There is a pond with
goldfish and koi carp.
