*"People come in and say 'I don't want a conifer,' then point to one and say, 'I really like that,' not realizing it is a conifer."*
We dive deep into the rich history and horticultural expertise of the Mill Garden Centre with Colin and Katherine McIndoe, whose family has been growing plants on the same Scottish site for over 125 years. Whether you’re a conifer enthusiast or a skeptic, prepare to see these versatile and striking plants through new eyes as our guests debunk common myths, share their hard-earned wisdom, and reveal how conifers can transform and brighten any garden, even in the toughest Scottish climates.
Tune in as we explore not only the fascinating evolution of the family business from vegetables and fruit to the ornamental wonders of today, but also get practical advice on choosing, maintaining, and falling in love with conifers and companion plants.
This is an episode to inspire both seasoned gardeners and curious beginners alike, offering guidance and stories you won’t want to miss.
