The Secret Herb Garden

About The Secret Herb Garden

We wish the Secret Herb Garden to be a place where people can ‘open the door to the magic of herbs’. To relax, enjoy and feel embraced by the herbs whether that’s sitting amongst them in the glasshouse or walking among them in the gardens. The Secret Herb Garden offers something for everyone: a place to enjoy and be embraced by the surrounding herbs, plants and nature. It offers a haven to sit, enjoy and contemplate, or a place to get involved and learn how herbs and nature have an important place in our daily lives.

The environment is a relaxed, a place where people can come and enjoy and just be, to enjoy the space inside and out.

The glasshouse is a magical experience full colour and beauty with intense aroma, it offer an interactive area for children and adults to enjoy alike, to experience herbs from around the world and to learn about their different medicinal, culinary and decorative attributes.

The School and herb drying room is used as an educational space with courses running on various subjects including growing herbs, bee keeping, candle making, foraging as well as Festive and seasonal courses.

The drying room is used to preserve herbs and flowers though the drying process, they are then used within the café and for sale in the shop in the form of herbal teas, other herbie products.

The café is a family friendly environment with fresh, seasonal, home-made food grown and produced where possible at the Secret Herb Garden. The environment is relaxed, a place where people can come and enjoy and just be, to enjoy the space inside and out.

The shop will support the products from the Garden such as candles, honey, teas, coffee, culinary and medicinal herbs as well as freshly cut flowers. They also support Scottish producers, artists and local craft makers.
