The Herb Garden and Nursery is open through the growing season. The walled garden of Poyntzfield House provides ideal conditions for growing, sheltered by hedges and woodland with a southerly aspect. It is well suited for cultivating herbs from around the world.

Getting here

Located on the north side of the Black Isle, just north of Inverness off the B9163 between Jemimaville and Balblair. Follow the signage for Poyntzfield and at the top of the drive is the herb nursery parking.

By bus

Stagecoach operate a No. 26 service between Inverness and Cromarty. Get off at the Poyntzfield road end and it is a 10 minute walk up the tree-lined drive to the nursery.

By bicycle

As well as access by road, Poyntzfield can be got to via a track to Poyntzfield Mill from near Mount High. The track surface is mostly good but there are some rougher sections which are best crossed on a mountain bike.
