Aerial view of Amisfield Walled Garden
Amisfield Walled Garden is being restored and developed as a community garden by the Amisfield Preservation Trust and a large band of volunteers. It provides a venue for education and training for people of all abilities and is open to the public free of charge. This work really takes a village, so if we’d love it if you could support the garden, volunteer your time or make a regular donation.
The garden lies on the outskirts of Haddington in East Lothian. Dating from the late 18th century, it is one of the largest walled gardens in Scotland, with extensive herbaceous borders, fruit and vegetable beds, wildflower meadow, orchard and woodland plantings.

The garden is open to visit from 10am to 4pm on Mondays to Fridays and from 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful garden and hope that you enjoy your visit.
We are always looking for more volunteers to join our team, so please get in touch if you would like to help out.
Amisfield Masonry Survey
The walls and pavilions are an important and integral part of Amisfield Walled Garden. Built in 1783 the buildings have a Category A status as listed historic buildings.
Amisfield Preservation Trust recently engaged with Adams Napier Partnership, Building Surveyors and Heritage Consultants, to conduct a survey of the buildings.
The work was supported with partial funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), part of the UK Governments Levelling Up Agenda, in conjunction with East Lothian Council.
More information will be available on the website once we have received the written report.
Happy Holidays !
A huge thank you from all of us at Amisfield for your support this year. We love to host events at this beautiful garden and its so rewarding to see how much our visitors enjoy it.
As our funding becomes more challenging we are also hugely grateful for your donations in keeping the project going for lots more visitors to enjoy. As the saying goes, it takes a village. Our friends at Kilduff farm have very generously helped us press the remainder of our apples and one of our newest volunteers designed and printed our labels too – look how pretty they are! We have some for sale for your healthy New Year tipple or for a nice gift over the holidays. We’ll be selling them during our opening hours 10-3pm weekdays and 10-1pm the Saturday before Christmas. The last day to enjoy the garden in 2024 will be Monday 23rd December before we close for the break, reopening on 3rd Jan.
Thank you, we appreciate you and we’ll see you soon!
