Buittle Tea Garden
Buittle Tea Garden is on a small farm Boghall, overlooking Buittle Church. It is set in a particularly lovely, quiet and peaceful hillside, which abounds with local wildlife including red squirrels, deer, badgers and hares, with a multitude of visiting native birds, especially woodpeckers and many songbirds.
Talk of Tea Gardens usually conjures up images of Indian hillsides & Sri Lankan glens, but tea plantations thrive even in the relatively cooler conditions of Scotland. Tea plants typically fare best in acidic soil in regions with high rainfall, and they can be grown anywhere from sea level to high altitudes.
