Strategic Partners
Discover Scottish Gardens was established in 2014 to support a network of gardens, plant nurseries and related businesses to promote the rich diversity of our gardens to Scotland’s many visitors.
Our Strategic Partners were the founding members and supporters of the organisation and without their support Discover Scottish Gardens would not have flourished. By working together to advance the mission of the organisation, our Strategic Partners have helped develop a thriving non-profit organisation which continues to serve Scotland’s gardens and businesses alike through year-round promotional opportunities, showcasing Scotland’s diverse and beautiful horticulture.
