Priorwood Garden and Dried Flower Shop

Priorwood is a specialist centre for the craft of dried flower arranging. Most of the flowers are grown for this purpose and the colourful selection brings variety to the arrangements made here. You can also learn more about this fascinating craft as there is ongoing drying most of the time. Otherwise you can simply enjoy the blossoms, especially in spring, or pause for a summer picnic within sight of the ruins of Melrose Abbey. The garden also includes an orchard where you can see historic apple varieties being grown organically. From Priorwood it’s a only a short walk to Harmony Garden (see above).
