Harmony Garden

A delightfully tranquil walled garden comprising lawns, herbaceous and mixed borders, vegetable and fruit areas, and a rich display of spring bulbs.

The garden is set around an early 19th-century house (not open to the public), built by Melrose joiner James Waugh, who named the house after the Jamaican pimento plantation where he made his fortune.

Harmony Garden has excellent views of Melrose Abbey and the Eildon Hills and is situated near Priorwood Garden.
