    Default Local Grower Selling Plants

    I think it is time I started a new thread here. The last one has run its course.

    Herbs and perennials £1.50, Shrubs £3.50. Always some miscellaneous bargains.

    Shrubs include Aucuba, Blackthorn, Honeysuckle, Gold Lonicera, Hardy Fuchsia (Riccartonii) and many more
    Herbs include Lemon Balm, Garlic Chives, Oregano, Rosemary and more
    Perennials include Stachys, Russell Lupins, Frageria, Ophiopogon and more

    Directions - from Castletown take the Groats road. Just outside Castletown, after the old mill, take the first and only public road right. It is unsigned apart from a cycleway sign, and heads for Greenland and Lyth. I am the first house on the right, bang on the roadside, Bayview Cottage.

    Please pm me, or contact on 01847821575 or 07784638417, although if I'm in the garden, both numbers will go to voicemail. But I'll call you back!

    Open every Sat and Sun, plus this Easter Monday. Any other time by arrangement - I'm usually home evenings.

    Many thanks to those who have been before and know all this. Your support is greatly appreciated. Mike.

    Sure Homebase was over-run today, with people buying plants grown in polytunnels in Holland. Isn't it time you supported local growers, who sell hardy plants raised in Caithness??

    Have plenty lupins. Young plants, but would expect at least some to flower this season. £1.50 each, as with all perennials and herbs.

    Not at the moment, sorry. Have some seedlings on the go but won't be ready for a while. Thanks for the enquiry.

    Help me out here. Anything left will go to charity. Meantime, this weekend and next, and every evening, i will accept offers. I need to get some of my costs back.

    We went down this afternoon and bought about a dozen plants at a lot less than garden centre prices, and they are more suited to the Caithness climate because Mike has reared them all himself. He still has some trees, shrubs, rhubarb, herbs, etc. Certainly worth a look!
