Visiting
Although we're not a garden centre and don't have a shop, you are welcome to visit the nursery if you're in the area. We're often out and about running workshops and leading courses, or working off-site looking after the fruit tree nursery. So please call first to make sure we're in.

Directions
To find us, if travelling from Perth, take the A9 north signposted Inverness, and turn left after about 8 miles signposted Bankfoot. You enter the village after about a mile; continue down Main Street till you see the Atholl Arms on right. Turn right up an unmarked, very narrow lane immediately before the Atholl Arms car park. This is Smiths Brae. We can be found at the second house on the left - with the unmissably untidy garden, hens, geese and greenhouses!

Parking
Parking is very restricted, the road badly potholed and access limited, so unless you are disabled, we recommend you park in Main Street and walk up Smith's Brae - it's only 50 yards or so.

Public Transport
You can reach us on a fairly regular bus service (23 and 27) from Perth, Dunkeld and Aberfeldy, run by Stagecoach Perth. See their website for the most recent timetable.
