Help Save Arduaine Garden22 March 2009 The National Trust for Scotland has announced that it proposes to close the well-known and much-loved Arduaine Garden, near Kilmelford, Argyll, as part of the necessary cost-cutting measures across the Trust. If you want to help save Arduaine, please spread the word wherever you can and write a positive letter or two to keep the matter in the public eye! As well as writing to the Scotsman and the Herald newspapers - their email addresses are letters_ts@scotsman.com and letters@theherald.co.uk respectively - it would be very helpful if you could email our Chief Executive, Kate Mavor, at kmavor@nts.org.uk, copying it to our Chairman, Shonaig MacPherson, at smacpherson@nts.org.uk and our Head of Gardens, Jan Haenraets, at jhaenraets@nts.org.uk . If you prefer to write a letter, then the address for all the above is The National Trust for Scotland, Wemyss House, 28 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, EH2 4ET, Scotland, UK. Letters of support and encouragement would be of far more use than angry letters of protest. After the financial decision passed down from the NTS Board to close Arduaine, the Trust management is trying hard to save the garden and anger will achieve nothing at all, probably just the opposite. So please support the Trust and the Arduaine Garden staff in their efforts to ensure that the garden stays open for ever! An Action Group has been set up by the local community and they've created an online petition at ipetitions The garden website and contacts can be found at Arduaine Garden; do have a look! Thank you very much for your help! Web site has been revised.
