It’s the start of #NationalTreeWeek and look what’s arrived in our polytunnel! These are just some of over 200 endangered trees and shrubs we’ll be planting as part of our new partnership with Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. As a satellite garden of the International Conifer Conservation Programme we’re helping to support the conservation of threatened tree species from around the world.

November garden jobs are many and varied... and today's task was hacking the vegetation off our old bridge to reveal it in its full splendour. The bridge with its cast iron balustrade dates to 1821-25 and is Historic Environment Scotland Listed category B.

It was overgrown with ivy and Nepalese Raspberry (Rubys nepalensis), hiding the elegant Gothic arch. Hettie provided valuable 4-legged assistance as ever! 🐕

Save the date! Lots of lovely stalls lined up for our Christmas market on 12 Dec (carefully laid out for social distancing of course).
