Macplants plant nursery extends to an area comprising approximately 0.86 hectares (2.12 acres) in total, forming a roughly rectangular parcel and relatively level in gradient for the plant beds and structures provided for plant cultivation, propagation, and storage.
The property has been held within the same family ownership since 1979 and has established a national client base with a diverse range of trade clients within the landscape, garden design and garden centre sectors and are proud to serve a particularly prestigious clientele, including Balmoral Castle, Historic Scotland, Holyrood Palace, The Royal Horticultural Society and The National Trust for Scotland.
Having expanded over time, Macplants has become central/southern Scotland’s largest grower of herbaceous perennials, alpines, ferns, and ornamental grasses, with the plant centre open to the public from the beginning of March until the end of October. The nursery is open all year for trade customers and by appointment to retail customers during the closed months.
Online mail order is a prominent part of the business with the shipping of plants across the UK.
The property also generates income via the retail shop, providing plants and other commodities to in-person customers, both local and from further afield.
Full sale particulars breakdown of the past three years’ turnover and a summary of the trading accounts is available from the selling agent, Savills.
The family are now retirement planning, providing an opportunity for a new operator to acquire the business and either continue the operation of the site independently or incorporate it into an existing business.
