We are a small team who grow an incredibly wide selection of alpine, bog and woodland plants
originating from around the world, on our Scottish nursery.
We aim to share our knowledge and love of the wide range of unusual plants we grow, so that more
people can enjoy these plants in their own gardens.
We also aim to create opportunities for people facing disadvantage in the workplace (due perhaps to
disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or their social situation). We create opportunities for people
to become part of an integrated team, gaining work experience or volunteering alongside skilled
horticulturalists and horticulture students.
We are a not-for-profit company, ploughing all financial surpluses back into the business to further
these aims.
We seek to be as environmentally friendly as we can be. We are working towards becoming peat
free, (which involves finding substitutes for peat in many different compost recipes!); we are trying out
natural alternatives to pesticides, like nematodes;
