We will also have hand-crafted garden signs, Mason bee-house habitats, Harry Lauder walking stick twigs, everlasting stakes (made out of vinyl albums), seeds and spring flowering bulbs to order including the fabulous allium schubertii.
Of course, it’s also the perfect time to take a walk around the gardens, take a book from the Little Free Library, smile at the recent goats who have been spotted in the gardens and take a photo of yourself with our founder, Robroy Farquhar, the original Vagabond that now stands in the gardens as do his dog, Boots and cat, Snodgrass.
