Martin Whitfield MSP has visited local business and visitor destination Archerfield Walled Garden to catch up on some of its latest developments and challenges.

Archerfield Walled Garden offers space to enjoy nature, pick up plants and gifts, host events and enjoy food with friends and family. The garden is a haven for wildlife and produce grown within the walls is used in the Garden Café or sold in the Food Market.

Mr Whitfield met with Elly Douglas-Hamilton and Louise Bisset and discussed a range of issues including the impact of retail crime, recycling in the horticultural sector and improving the local bus shelter.

Speaking afterwards, Martin Whitfield MSP said: 

“Archerfield Walled Garden is an important visitor attraction and employer, offering a great experience for shopping, eating or just reconnecting with nature in the beautiful walled garden.

“I’m grateful to Elly and Louise for taking time out to chat to me about some of the challenges they are currently facing and their exciting future plans.”
