Fair play, you may not be familiar, so here’s the lowdown: a vigorous vine that will climb up most things with a bit of support. It’s an annual that likes a sunny spot and it’s not frost hardy so treat it like a bedding plant. These fantastic fiery colours will dress up a dreary wall or faded fence so sitting out is all the cheerier. Does great in a pot too, just support with an obelisk, canes….whatever you have for it to climb up. Once it gets going you’ve got flower power right through til the first frosts👌
Sorry to say that the blade sharpener has advised he will not be with us this coming weekend. We can only apologise on his behalf for any inconvenience and would kindly ask that you share this post with anyone that you think may be planning a trip specifically to get items sharpened.

The word from the burrows (or more aptly this year: via ‘jungle drums’) is that Hopsy Bunny has visited us again and left another little trail for the kiddiwinks to find and follow.
Grab a map at our info desk to locate the 8 clues she’s hopped and then dropped from her Easter basket, all around the garden centre. They’ll help you figure out the answer to her question for a wee reward 🐣
Our Easter adventure is free and for the whole family!

Gardens in Scotland you can visit, many of which are rarely open to the public. The best bit; every ticket bought, cuppa sipped and cake munched goes to help charities and local communities. Last year, Scotland’s Gardens Scheme supported over 250 charities and good causes👏
A great day out, a great way to get garden inspired and you’re giving too😊 #edinburgh#scotlandsgardenscheme #winchburgh#westlothian#gardencentre

We’re buzzin’ about our new honey supplier with their hives just across the water, in and around Kinross. We love that profits from their honey are poured back into sourcing more hives and more hives mean more employbees…currently a whopping 3.2 million!
And if you fancy yourself as a beekeeper, you can sign up for one of their workshops which start the end of Spring.
In the meantime, anyone for runny or set??😋🍯
