Hear first hand from Head Gardener, Iain Govan, about all aspects of Culzean gardens and estate. He will focus on the challenges, highlights and future developments that are planned, giving an unseen insight into what goes on in managing a historic designed landscape.
Iain started his gardening journey as a ‘boy with a strimmer’ at Logan House Garden nineteen years ago before stints at Edinburgh Zoo (while studying for his RHS qualifications at the RBGE) and at the National Trust for Scotland’s school of heritage gardening at Threave Estate, gaining a Diploma in heritage gardening. Iain has been an NTS gardener ever since, working at Kellie Castle in Fife, then as the First Gardener at Crathes Castle in the North East of Scotland before ‘coming home’ to work at Culzean at the same time as starting a family in 2017.
