Inverewe Garden, Botanical garden in Poolewe, Scotland.
The gardens extend across 100 acres of woodland near Loch Ewe, featuring plants from Tasmania, New Zealand, China, Nepal, and the Indian subcontinent.
Osgood Mackenzie established the garden in 1862 on bare rock and sparse willows, transforming it into a botanical collection through extensive soil importation.
The garden stands as a testament to Scottish horticultural innovation, demonstrating how the Gulf Stream allows subtropical plants to grow at northern latitudes.
The National Trust for Scotland maintains the garden throughout the year, offering guided tours and educational programs about global plant species.
At 57.8 degrees north latitude, equal to Hudson Bay in Canada, the garden cultivates 4,000 plant species from worldwide tropical and temperate regions.
