Woodside plant centre Nr Jedburgh

Welcome to Woodside, an award-winning plant centre & tearoom based in a lovely old walled garden, just north of Jedburgh in the wonderful Scottish Borders.

Woodside is owned and managed by gardening duo Emma and Stephen Emmerson, with help from an enthusiastic and dedicated team of staff. Located within a Victorian Walled Garden, Woodside is home to a large and well-stocked plant centre, filled with plants sourced from Scottish and UK growers, a great range of compost (including peat-free) , seeds, bulbs, garden tools, fertilisers, wild bird care and much more. We continue to expand and in the summer of 2020 we added a grocery shop to our repertoire, and in 2021 we introduced a new  aquatics section.

Improvements have continued since then and we hope that you are enjoying the newest facilities: a polytunnel for our bedding plants, a bigger compost canopy, and a new section for our vintage garden products.

Our cosy Birdhouse Tearoom overlooks our bird-feeding station, where you can enjoy up close views of our garden birds, whilst enjoying a cup of freshly made coffee and delicious home-baking, or a light lunch. Our garden seating area is very popular with tearoom users as the south facing site makes it a sun trap.

 

Dogs at Woodside

Well behaved dogs on short leads are welcome at Woodside in all our outdoor areas, including the outdoor seating for the Birdhouse Tearoom. They are not permitted indoors in the tearoom or in the plant shop, except for assistance dogs. All dogs must be kept on a short lead, and must not be allowed to jump up onto furniture, urinate on plants or otherwise cause a nuisance to other visitors who might not love your dog as much as you do. Please clean up after them and take poo bags home - don't expect anyone else to do this for you.  Dog owners who do not respect our Woodside rules may be asked to leave. If you're in any doubt about whether your dog can behave itself at Woodside then please, leave it at home.

Woodside is open every day, and offers visitors a delightful experience, with our own unique take on a garden centre!
