It has been confirmed that the popular StrathPetal Celebration of Gardening will take place in 2026 in a new one day format for this year.
StrathPetal organisers have revealed that a Gardners Question Time session will take place at Strathpeffer Pavilion on June 6th, as part of a one day event for 2026. The full Open Garden weekend around Strathpeffer will return in 2027. However, the day in June this year will include 3 gardners from the local area. This will feature Will Soos (co-owner of the world famous Garden at 2 Durnamuck, Wester Ross); Pamela Sutherland (head Gardner at Inverness Botanical Garden) and Finlay Keiller from Seeds of Scotland.
