Growing in Scotland is different

Scotland’s weather is changeable, sometimes referred to as four seasons in a day!

Temperature is generally lower than the rest of the UK, although it is slightly warmer on the West Coast than the East Coast.  Lower light levels, lots of rain and wind all contribute to a wide variation of growing conditions across Scotland.

Grow & Learn Award Scheme
