It was a cat burglar...

Got any security camera footage - You've Been Framed comes to mind! 😂

Face says it all...Why you lookin' at me like that!!!

You should know you obey a cat. 🐈

It is surely my space?

Trays are for sitting in. Not for putting things in.

Def the face of ' nope wasn't me..'

Naughty cat x

I mean how dare Clare put things in the way!

Oops!

Such a wee innocent face

Look at that I didn’t do face!! 🐈🐈🐈

We approach the end of a year we could never have We approach the end of a year we could never have predicted. A year of constant uncertainty and adapting to change, for everyone. New Hopetoun wouldn’t be here without the support and kindness of our loyal customers and followers and we can’t thank you enough. We’ve been uplifted by your messages and gestures and touched to know how much our lockdown services helped your mental & physical well-being by enabling you to get out and garden. We also wouldn’t have got through this year without the phenomenal team that we’re blessed with. Our gang have embraced every additional role and challenge...and there have been many! Garden centres have now been reclassified as non-essential under the current level 4 regulations which means we closed our doors today not just for Christmas but until further notice. We are still permitted to offer a click & collect service however which will be available from the 28th to the 31st of December and again from January the 4th. Simply call us on 01506 834433 from 10am to 5pm if you’d like to place an order. For now, the NHG team, actually family, would like to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a happier and more settled 2021. We hope it’s not too long before we welcome you back again, take care. #edinburgh#linlithgow#southqueensferry #westlothian#gardencentre #plantpeople#shopcats

Our team would like to say a heartfelt thank you f Our team would like to say a heartfelt thank you for all your messages after the theft of some of our Christmas trees. We’ve been overwhelmed by the love, support and even offers of help which has made us smile and lift the dark ending to our week. We’re feeling very grateful to have such fantastic and loyal customers. #edinburgh#linlithgow#southqueensferry #westlothian #fife #eastlothian #gardencentre #midlothian#christmastrees#feelingthelove
Last night thieves broke in to our premises and st Last night thieves broke in to our premises and stole a bulk of our cut Christmas trees. They chose to target us as a small independent garden centre, not a multi-million pound business. Like our fellow garden centres, we’ve been fighting for our business since March. Our fight continues as we find ourselves in tier 4 at a time when normally the tearoom and Christmas trading would be our bread and butter. The chances are our stolen trees will be sold in some unregulated pop-up stall or from the back of a van. Please be vigilant of these unscrupulous sellers and even report if you feel necessary. We pride ourselves in supporting Scottish growers and the hard work that they do to provide us with the quality of Christmas trees that we offer you. Please don‘t worry if you’ve already ordered your tree from us, we’ll still be delivering a beautiful tree to you as planned. And if you’re coming in to pick one, our canopy is waiting for you, full of corkers! #edinburgh#linlithgow #southqueensferry #fife #westlothian#eastlothian#midlothian #gardencentre #christmastrees#scottishgrown

Potted Christmas just landed, just fir you!🎄 O Potted Christmas just landed, just fir you!🎄 Our Scottish grown potted trees are here from the Highlands and looking lovely as ever. The beauty of potted is that they’re good to go straight into the home (or sit outside) and then you can continue to enjoy after the festivities by planting out in the garden. Our various spruces and firs range from a dinky 40-60cm (2ft) to a daddy 120-140cm (4ft). And, we’ll give you a free festive red pot with every tree which will protect your floor when watering indoors. #westlothian#christmastrees#pottedtrees#gardencentre#christmas

They have however placed garden centres in the essential retail category under this tier which means you can still visit us to shop from our plant area and buildings including the gift shop. The position will be reviewed in 3 weeks time and we’re hopeful for better news about our tearoom by then but in the meantime, we’d still love to see you, if you can😊 #southqueensferry#linlithgow#westlothian #edinburgh#fife#tearoom#gardencentre#plantpeople
