Rhododendrons, redbuds and many conifer plants make a good backdrop for the demonstration plant woodland.

In the Chinese Hillside, there is an assembled world's largest collection of Chinese plants. The slopes include the winding paths, a waterfall with a pond and a traditional small Chinese pavilion, which is set on the shore. The various ferns, mosses, lichens, fungi and other local flora are present in the Ecological Garden. All the plants for its collection are taken from the natural habitats of the different regions of Scotland.

Today, the Rock Garden is a large area of mounds and gullies, the winding streams and waterfalls cross it in the different directions. A unique environment is created here for thousands of alpine plants, many of them were grown from the seed, collected by George Forrest during his expeditions to China in 20^th century.
