Welcome to Rumbling Bridge Nursery

Hello and welcome to Rumbling Bridge Nursery. Here you can find out about our nursery's setting, plants and ethos. Keep the page bookmarked to check back frequently, as we'll be keeping the site fresh with news, pictures and a fresh look at each season's new plants.

We are a small family run wholesaler, supplying garden centres around Scotland, however we do offer retail mail order to the public between August and April each year. You can also find a list of retailers stocking a full range of our plants on the links page.

We are based in the small village of Rumbling Bridge near Kinross, a somewhat micro-climate at high altitude for growing our unique collections of rare alpines and woodland plants.

The business has been run for over twelve years on the site of an old Victorian nursery, which supplied the old Briglands estate in which it is located, with fruit, vegetables and other produce. When we took over the site it was in a state of great disrepair, with a huge Victorian wrought iron and wooden glasshouse which had sadly drifted beyond repair. The site was overgrown with waist height grass and unfortunately placed trees. Now, a fully fledged nursery, weed free, with three polytunnels and complimenting stock gardens.

2012 Wholesale Catalogue

We’ve just released our new 2012 Wholesale Catalogue, this year with 320 varieties to choose from.

The online version can be downloaded here, but if you need a copy sent to you including prices, just send us an email.

All the best for the 2012 season!

Retail Mail Order Available

In response to requests, we now offer mail order to the public between September and March each year.
We have added a new section of the website where you can browse the special mail order catalogue, complete with prices and details of each of the plants and an order form.

We have included some real specials in this so we hope you find the new service useful for locating hard to find plants.

Please bear in mind that we are still a wholesale nursery and aren’t open to the public, but we’ll be happy to mail your plants to you.

Please also let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
