Garden Shed Floral Workshops & Garden Tours 2025

We've got together with Strathtyrum Flowers to bring you a series of floral workshops and garden tours .

Our flowers are sustainably grown at the Walled Garden, here on the estate, following organic principles, and carefully sowed, planted and harvested by hand to ensure their beauty and quality.

This year, we're delighted to offer tours of the Walled Garden, where you'll be guided through the art of sustainably growing cut-flowers and vegetables, using no-dig and organic methods. Plus, we've managed to graft tours with a couple of workshops!
