Our new Garden

After 15 years in the walled garden of Gartmore House, we are now in the process of moving to our new home in the walled garden at Gargunnock House. But we are not leaving Gartmore – we are delighted to have purchased a field on the outskirts of Gartmore and are very enthusiastic about the opportunities it will give us. We are also very pleased to be keeping our base in Gartmore with its very supportive and helpful community.

As well as flowers, we have a small arboretum
Lots of work for students and volunteers!
There is plenty of potential
Here are the beds we will be working on
The lower gate
There is plenty of opportunity in Gargunnock, and we have already met many members of the local community and are looking forward to meeting more.
