Ardentinny opens its gardens

Ardentinny's gardeners - Freda & Barry Waldapfel and Eileen Connell

The Shore Villages of Kilmun, Strone, Blairmore and Ardentinny this weekend participated in Scotland’s Gardens Scheme. Ardentinny opened two of its most beautiful private gardens to the public.

Eileen Connell and Freda & Barry Waldapfel’s gardens received a stream of visitors throughout the 2-day event, with all proceeds going to the Gardens Scheme charities.  Well done to all three!
