- Visit the gardens at Glenarn, or explore Geilston Garden and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House (both National Trust for Scotland).

This event is FREE for all volunteers but we would appreciate it if you can register via the link below so we know how many sandwiches to make. If you are an organisation with volunteers you can book for all your volunteers via the same link (we are asking organisations to make a small financial contribution to help us with costs BUT only if they can afford to – the most important thing is for all your wonderful volunteers to be there).

Event Details
Join public artist Maya Rose Edwards for a creative workshop at Cove Park ahead of their commission on the Highland Boundary Fault to be installed September this year. Maya invites local young people and their families to take part in activities exploring ideas of ‘landmarking’. What is a landmark? Who gets to decide what deserves a landmark? In what ways does the land create marks itself?
Using natural materials and sculptural processes and taking inspiration from the location of Cove Park and its proximity to the Highland Boundary Fault, participants will create their own mythical landmarks and collect clues of the vast geological history beneath their feet.

Friends of Geilston are very pleased that Reflection Holistics have agreed to offer this amazing experience again this year. Lewis and Morven’s sessions are always popular and very well received.
A wonderful opportunity to quietly lie in the Garden and be immersed in calming soothing sounds. No water involved at all, other than the gentle babbling from the Geilston Burn.
‘ We blend the clarity of crystal singing bowls with the smooth sacred tones of traditional Tibetan bowls. Add to that the delicate quiver of the Koshi chimes, the primordial beat of Shamanic drums and you have the relaxing warmth from a bath of sound.’
Two dates to choose from this year, 21st or 22nd June – or come to both!! 11am-12pm
Cost £15 NTS garden entry fees apply. Free to NTS members £1 Young Scotcardholders. See NTS website for details of entry and membership fees.

Event Details
Friends of Geilston are very pleased that Reflection Holistics have agreed to offer this amazing experience again this year. Lewis and Morven’s sessions are always popular and very well received.
A wonderful opportunity to quietly lie in the Garden and be immersed in calming soothing sounds. No water involved at all, other than the gentle babbling from the Geilston Burn.
‘ We blend the clarity of crystal singing bowls with the smooth sacred tones of traditional Tibetan bowls. Add to that the delicate quiver of the Koshi chimes, the primordial beat of Shamanic drums and you have the relaxing warmth from a bath of sound.’
Two dates to choose from this year, 21st or 22nd June – or come to both!! 11am-12pm
Cost £15 NTS garden entry fees apply. Free to NTS members £1 Young Scotcardholders. See NTS website for details of entry and membership fees.

Event Details
A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a good day out in the garden. Being just towards the end of the school holidays, when running out of ideas of things to do, there are plenty of activities for children but also plenty for visitors of all ages! There will be a Trail through the garden searching out our amazing knitted Glorious Gardeners; mini-archery in Robyn Hood Wood; fun with willow weaving demonstrations and a chance to have a go and lots of garden games scattered around the garden.
There is retail therapy in the outdoors too with a variety of local craft products – sewn, felted and knitted goods to soaps, ceramics and glassware to cards and jewellery. Enjoy seeing the goods and chatting with their makers.
No Geilston Garden event is complete without the Cake stall, always a great range of homemade cake and a nice hot or cold drink.
However the star of the day is always the Garden which is looking so good, thanks to the hard work and skill of the gardeners and volunteers.
Normal NTS entry fees apply, free to NTS members. See NTS website for details of entry charges and membership. Once in the garden there will be no further charges for activities.
