Five years on from the seedling of an idea, Darroch Nurseries is now officially a fully registered charity with OSCR. We always knew that we didn't want to "just" grow trees, but that people and the deeper connections between trees and people needed to be centred in our work. So as we expand from a social enterprise to a registered charity as well, we wanted to take a moment to thank the many people who have been a part of our story, taken part in our workshops, offered a helping hand, and planted our trees across Scotland. You've helped shape who we are and we are so excited for what's to come next 🌱

Many thanks to Open Aye for the photographs that capture our love for what we do.

A couple of great opportunities are available with the really fabulous folk at Green Aspirations Scotland ⬇️

New job role alert!!!

We are delighted to be able to offer two new roles, both offered on a part-time and self-employed basis, thanks to funding from Forth Valley & Lomond CLLD. The roles have been designed to help us build our capacity in coppicing and coppice crafts.

We got some Scottish aspen seed this year and they are growing very nicely! Always amazed at what teeny weeny seeds can turn into 🤩

For the first time ever the Royal Highland Show (18-21 June) will have a dedicated Sustainable Agriculture Tent, and our trees will be featured in the Soil Association Scotland section.

We fully support agroecological approaches, and regularly supply trees to the many amazing farmers and crofters leading the transition, so we are delighted to also provide some of the living greenery for this brilliant collaborative hub and hopefully provide some inspiration. We can’t be there in person this year but please go and say hi to our trees 🤩🌱

Many thanks to Soil Association Scotland and to the collaborating organisers and Smallholding Scotland.

This year we are trialing a new compost - one that is peat and coconut free, produced by a local compost company called SilviBio Ltd. Ltd and using locally available materials. We’ve got our scots pine seedlings growing in this and in our usual peat free, coir based tree nursery specific compost. We’ll be comparing watering needs, how well it holds moisture, root and seedling development, and general growth and health. Very excited to see how this unfolds - more updates later on in the year!

It seems our polytunnel has grown more than trees this year - found a beautifully crafted nest under our packing table when I was digging out some supplies. Based on the birds we have hanging about, I’m guessing it’s a grey wagtail or robin’s nest. Anybody know? Whoever built it did so with fastidiousness and care - it has a triangular base because of where it was built. It’s gorgeous and I’m glad my doggos contributed their fair share of soft hair to line it 😂
