- 28 August 2023

As the kaleidoscope of colour fades in Rowallane Garden, it makes way for a burst of autumnal orange, yellows and purples. The leaves begin to fall leaving a crisp carpet of hues under foot. Join us this Autumn and experience the magic of seasonal change. We have a host of activities to keep you warm as the air begins to cool and the days grow shorter.
A Treemendous Walk - Throughout Autumn
Take a walk amongst towering trees, drifts of colour and fallen leaves throughout the garden. Look a little closer at some of the trees in our collection this autumn.
This self guided walk takes you through the garden to look at some of our trees as their leaves begin to change and put on autumnal displays before carpeting the ground underfoot in an array of hues.
Embark on a Treemendous walk with us. Pick up your copy from the Welcome area or Rowallane House.
Leaf Spotter Sheets - Throughout Autumn
Autumn has arrived. Leaves are starting to change colour and fall from the trees. Look around you at the autumn colours. Feel the crisp carpet of leaves under your feet.
We invite you to explore the garden in search of different shaped leaves. Can you find everything on our leaf spotter sheet?
