Branklyn Garden – a National Trust for Scotland property – is tucked away on the edge of Perth. I don’t think we could have picked a nicer day to visit. I wanted to keep retracing my steps around the paths, in case there was anything we’d missed.

I loved the Alpine bank.

And the Himalayan Blue Poppies (Meconopsis ‘Mrs Jebb’) were at their best.

The array of colours, textures, shapes and sizes meant it was a real treat for anyone with a camera!
