Logan Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Description
Logan Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in Dumfries and Galloway with extensive plant collections from warmer regions around the world. The grounds feature different zones with varied habitats, from open beds to sheltered houses that protect delicate species.
History
The site was established in 1869 at a location in southern Scotland with older roots. The project was later integrated into a larger network of botanical institutions focused on plant conservation efforts.
Culture
The garden takes its name from the Logan family who shaped the property in the 1800s, and visitors can still see traces of their influence in the pathway layout and the stone walls that frame the grounds. This heritage remains visible in how the space is organized and maintained today.
Practical
The garden sits at Scotland's southwestern tip and is accessible during the warmer months, giving visitors time to explore its various areas. The grounds are fairly spread out, so comfortable shoes and adequate time are helpful for seeing the collections properly.

A modern glasshouse on the grounds uses renewable energy sources and demonstrates innovative approaches to plant protection. The building blends historical architecture with contemporary technology, making it an interesting example of sustainable practice.
