Good afternoon All
Thus has got to be the shrub of the moment here at the garden centre.
Deutzia mont rose.
A hardy shrub growing to about 3m tall over 10 years.
A lovely addition to the back of any border 😀

Quick announcement for today, we are very sorry but we have had to close an hour earlier than usual as our recent house move has presented a tougher challenge than expected. Thank you for understanding and we are back to normal tomorrow.

We all know your fandom’s deep love for Scottish history, but a real-life Jacobite-era treasure genuinely needs your help.
Meet Sir John Gordon, or rather, his £3 million marble likeness, the Bouchardon Bust. Sculpted in Rome in 1728, this is a literal face from the era of Jamie and Claire. At the exact moment Sir John was sitting for this portrait, Rome was a hotbed of exiled Jacobite intrigue, and he later became a prominent Scottish politician during the tumultuous years of the 1745 Rising.

Having been bought by our local council for a mere £5. In 1998, it was 'rediscovered' in a Highland storage shed, where it had been used as an ashtray; some even tell it had been downgraded to a doorstop!

Right now, a temporary export bar is stopping the bust from being sold abroad to a private collector. We are on a ticking clock to raise the funds needed to save this piece of Scottish heritage and keep it in Scotland where it belongs.

Clan Outlander is legendary for its generosity and passion for preserving Scotland’s past. Let’s rally together to protect Sir John before he's lost to a private gallery forever.

Good evening All

Who needs a water feature when nature is providing a veil of water from the sky and the 🤣🤣
On a serious note the garden centre will open at 10 tomorrow morning. We will hope it is dry and see you then.

Good morning All

There are roadworks at the entrance to the Cafe and garden centre, they look a bit daunting but having traffic control makes it so much easier to get out onto the A9.
