    Default Plants for Sale

    Bare-root season has gone now, but still many pot-grown herbaceous perennials and shrubs available Open for sales every Sunday, 10 am till dusk, and any other time by arrangement. Still have broad beans in jiffys, but only tomorrow, 'cos If not sold, will use myself, and in due course fill my freezer.

    Will be here for plant sales tomorrow (Mon May 2) as it is a holiday for many folk and an extended gardening weekend. Thanks to LIZZ and many others who have been here over the weekend. It is always a pleasure to discuss plants and gardens and meet people, from beginners to old hands. All welcome tomorrow.

    Directions posted in another thread, but here again. From Castletown, take the Groats road. Just outside the village, take the first and only public road right (unsigned, heads for Lyth). I am the first house on the right up that road, white cottage on the roadside.

    Hi there. Yes, still have a good selection. Here for sales every Sunday, or any evening after 5.30. Sorry if my directions weren't clear. I'm just outside Castletown. From Castletown take the Groats road. Just outside Castletown, take the first public road on the right (unsigned, goes to Lyth/Greenland). I'm the first house on the right up that road, white cottage on the roadside.

    From Castletown, take the Groats road. Just outside Castletown, past the old mill, take the first and only public road right (unsigned, heads to Greenland/Lyth). I'm the first house on the right up that road, white cottage on roadside.

    Box is the obvious choice but it is not fully hardy in Caithness. I don't have box anyway, because I only propagate plants from my own garden, that way I know they are Caithness-tolerant! Can I suggest Lonicera nitida Bagessen's Gold? Small gold leafed shrub, responds well to pruning and clipping into shape. Very hardy, keeps its leaves all year round. Very tolerant of hard pruning.

    Thanks for the quick reply do you have any bagessen's gold? What about holly can that be used.
    Thank you very much for your advice it's much appreciated
    Regards manzie
