About Us

We are a local, independent garden centre based at Hillend, just beside Dalgety Bay.  Our owner, the appropriately named Stan Green, has worked in horticulture for over 40 years.   His passion for plants and gardens and the inspiration they have given has never diminished, if anything it is getting stronger.  Stan has campaigned to raise the profile of horticulture to the government and the public.  He has worked in many initiatives including Scotgrow, Garden For Life and especially The Calyx – a project to develop a National Garden for Scotland.

Stan was the on the Board of the Horticultural Trade Association (HTA) for over 8 years, serving as Chairman for 2 year. In 2017 Stan was awarded the Scottish Horticultural Medal from the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society’s (RCHS) for services to Scottish Horticulture.
