Growing Plants in Tournaig For Over 40 Years

Our retail plant nursery is open from March to October. We try to offer a good selection of seasonal items such as flowering bulbs in spring and bedding plants in May and June, along with our year round mainstays of alpines, herbaceous and shrubs. We specialise in plants that will thrive in the tough windy conditions of the NW of Scotland.

We grow a good number of the plants you will see on sale right from seeds or cuttings, others from small plants called liners or bought in as finished plants for (hopefully) immediate resale.

Although the Nursery shuts to the public at the end of October we keep on working. We are often asked the question “what do you do in the winter?” Well we tidy up the nursery  put plants away for the winter, placing those that need protection from the wet and cold under cover. Around the festive season Lesley sells bowls of hyacinths and hand made fresh wreaths and table decorations. A lot of the construction, repair and maintenance work to the nursery is done in the winter months when there are no customers in the way so we can make a mess in peace. Then of course being where we are there are plenty of winter storms to clear up after or in some years winter snow and ice problems.
