'Black Prince' Ignited My Love For Propagation'

The first plant I ever grew 

It was curly kale which, surprisingly, grew big and strong in my very windy and open garden. I didn’t start growing it until my 30s when we moved to Skye. I had lots of healthy seedlings, which I enjoyed sharing with friends. It was really yummy to eat, too!

The plant that shaped the gardener I am today 

Four years ago I was doing a pruning workshop at Dunvegan Castle gardens on Skye when I got my first cutting of antirrhinum ‘Black Prince’. It ignited a love for propagation and I’m still propagating its offspring to this day.

My favourite plant in the world
