Johnston Gardens, Public garden in Aberdeen, Scotland
The one-hectare Johnston Gardens contains streams, waterfalls, ponds, and a rustic bridge amid tall beech trees and flowering rhododendrons along the pathways.
The gardens originated as part of Johnston House estate before becoming municipal property in 1936 when the owners transferred the land to Aberdeen City.
A memorial stands in the gardens to commemorate sixteen individuals who lost their lives in the 2009 Super Puma helicopter accident near BP Miller platform.
The gardens welcome visitors from 8 AM until one hour before dusk, with seasonal toilet facilities and parking access from Viewfield Road.
The Japanese-style section features bamboo plants and acer trees surrounding a pond with an arched bridge, making it a frequent location for wedding photography.
