Description:
|
The nursery was established in 1996 by Janet Wheatcroft who has travelled extensively in
Europe and the Himalayas. She has introduced a number
of important plant varieties to the UK.
Charming and somewhat haphazard, Craigieburn Garden and Nursery is the antithesis of the
normal garden centre. The nursery takes up most of
a former kitchen garden on a fine, naturally
sheltered part of the garden which is flanked by some
fine 200-year-old beech trees. The Craigieburn
runs close by, keeping the nursery plants fresh in
the summer. Within the garden are the old bothies,
tiny buildings which visitors are intrigued to
discover once housed the gardener and his family. One
of them now recreates an authentic Sherpa home, as lived in by Nepal's heroic mountaineers. The
plants for sale cover half an acre, between 600 to
700 varieties of plants filling every corner of the nursery.
