Award-winning North Kessock garden centre, Munro’s Nurseries, have everything your garden needs this autumn season.

Sandy Munro, a director of the family-run business, has shared his expert advice on all the jobs to get sorted this autumn — with all the materials and help you could possibly need available from Munro’s Nurseries.

“While autumn isn’t as busy as the spring, our keen customers who know what they’re doing certainly come in — and they come in to enjoy the coffee shop attached to the nurseries as well.” Sandy explained. “We’re always more than happy to help and advise people if they come and see us at the gardens. There’s always a team about that will be able to help.

“Everything that you could need over the next couple of months, we certainly have in the shop — there’s a good selection available right through the autumn months.”
