Johnston Gardens is a small public garden in Aberdeen, Scotland. The garden has won the Britain in Bloom competition many times (like the city itself which won the city in bloom category nine years straight before being banned to give another city a chance).
The gardens are full with flowers and shrubbery which sole purpose is for aesthetics. This is a very popular place for wedding photographs to be taken.
Access
Access is from Viewfield Road close to the Gordon Highlanders Museum in the Rubislaw district of central Aberdeen.
History
