Bothwell Castle Miners Wildflower Garden is a 20th-century garden in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is not automatically a public place, though the name suggests men who dug beneath the land may have wanted flowers above it. The contrast between mineral darkness and bright petals gives the garden its quiet strangeness.
