A plotholder for many years, Viv is exceptionally green-fingered, using her talents to become the driving force in the care and cultivation of the wide range of plants you’ll find at our popular sales during the growing season. Part of the team responsible for the school visits, she also volunteers in the shop, assists with social events (including baking amazing cakes and her legendary haggis sausage rolls) and is generally always there to lend a hand when it’s needed.

“Enjoy the journey. Each year will have its successes and failures. Learn from the failures and celebrate the things that grow well, and remember every year is different.”
