Priorwood Gardens |
||||||||||
|
Priorwood is a specialist garden where the plants grown are selected for their suitability for drying.
The colourful and imaginative selection ensures variety for the dried flower arrangements made on the premises, and provides material for courses held here on the ancient craft of drying flowers.
The garden also has an orchard with historic varieties of apples which are organically grown.
Enjoy the different blossoms in Spring, a picnic there in Summer, and catch a glimpse of the impressive ruins of Melrose Abbey which overlooks the garden.
