Achiltibuie Garden visitor centre


Alison, Di and Julie are delighted to share the great news that The Achiltibuie Garden has been awarded £66,000 towards the cost of building the new visitor centre, from the Rural Priorities area of the Scottish Rural Development Programme.

The announcement was made on Thursday 7th January and was covered by the Scotsman newspaper:
Who will get the cash in conservation giveaway
THE Achiltibuie Garden in Wester Ross will receive £66,000, half the cost of building a new visitor centre which will increase employment from three to five full-time equivalents by 2012.

The firm sells kits to grow vegetables, salad plants, herbs and fruit and has a mail order arm supplying a range of hydroponics growing kits, from those suitable for growing herbs on a windowsill to custom-designed systems for domestic greenhouses.
