Exhibition shines spotlight on 400 years of Scotland’s garden history
The exhibition also spotlights the modern trend to revive a sense of community gardening: post-industrial plots reclaimed by urban communities seeking a return to ‘grow it yourself’ days and a shift from supermarket fruit and veg domination.

Excerpt:
Using images and other materials drawn from Historic Environment Scotland’s vast archives, Seeds of Time: Scottish Gardens 1600 to Present Day at Fort George near Inverness, paints a vivid picture of how the nation’s gardens and green spaces have evolved over four centuries.
It shows how, as well as providing spaces to nurture plants, vegetables, fruit and flowers, gardens can also mirror shifts in society, politics, empire and everyday life.
According to Claire Whitbread, HES Exhibitions Manager, they also reveal rich stories about past generations – what they ate, the flowers they admired and how they enjoyed their time in the outdoors.
“When thinking about our built heritage, castles, buildings and monuments may first come to mind, but our gardens are also a part of that history and provide a sort of living time capsule,” she says.
“These green spaces can show us so much about our past, from the grand designs of the aristocracy and the role of empire in revolutionising plant diversity at home, to the vital role city allotments have played in feeding the nation.”
