Welcome

Hamish and Kate Henderson opened their shop on the High Street in Melrose in 2010.

Hamish is a garden designer and Kate trained as a textile designer, and the shop is the two together: one part garden, one part home.

For the garden there is vintage furniture, statuary and ornament, urns and planters. For the house there is a carefully chosen collection from independent brands: candles and home fragrance, faux botanicals, kitchen and tableware, cards, and gifts for anyone who gardens. The shop will source a particular piece, and it runs its own door-to-door delivery for the big ones.

Melrose sits where the Southern Upland Way, the Borders Abbeys Way and St Cuthbert's Way meet, and Tweedbank station, with trains from Edinburgh, is a short way off. Dogs are welcome in the shop.
